Hi Dave,
I come from a Cusselle line that emigrated to Australia many moons ago. At one stage, the line was flourishing, but then it went dead. They didn't survive in Australia for some reason. Here are some screen shots of my ancestry site starting from John Cusselle in 1809...

Lillieth Cusselle Summerfield Parr is my Great Grandmother, she died of a brain hemorrhage at 50, and her son Douglas Parr (my Grandfather) died of a heart attack as at 50 as no doctor would come to the house. My Dad drove him to the Hospital, they made him park the car and by the time he got back he was dead. That was the day after my Mother was having an operation with me in the womb when she was 5 months pregnant with me. The doctors said, 'don't expect the baby to live'.
Studying genealogy, it makes me very sad when you see one side of the family go extinct, whether it is due to genocide, or hate or what. Maybe its anti-semitism because I'm sure there is jewish blood on the Cusselle line. Maybe the Cusselle name is linked to Courselle in France, who knows, they may have descended from the French nobility who survived the guillotines.

From all those beautiful old fashioned names seem to have gone by the wayside by now, you know those names such as Olivette Violet, Lillieth, Jessamine Hyacinth, Laurel Pearl, Eileen Marguerite, Viola Stephanotes, Myrtle Edelweiss, Ronald Stuart Lisle.
Good luck finding the Cusselles
and if I can be of any help feel free to email me on
