Just for information , Gosta Simmons located and indexed some recorded
information 1850-1875 from Saba. Births , Deaths and marriages. It may be
found at the Library of Congress and I think at Libraries in the Hague and
UK. The index may not be as complete but it is full of Saba names. Also in
the museum on Saba. I have a copy and will do limited lookups.
There are also names and births and marriages in the Books of the churches
on Saba.
I just returned from my second visit to Saba and Aruba where I added much to
my information. I met a son of the Dutch police policeman , Eert
Sloterdijk. now quite old and frail. Eert's wife, Orie Sloterdijk Hassell
was my Great Aunt. She and my Great-Grandmother, Elizabeth Hassell Holm
(1846-1920) are buried in the Catholic Burial Ground across the road from
the Church of the Conversion of St Paul in Windwardside. This Catholic
Church only started on Saba about 1850. All my Greats were baptized there .
The Anglican Church in the Bottom was started much earlier. Most burials
are in graves in the yards of the homes but there are small Cemeteries in
Windwardside and the Bottom. Some birth and death dates are recorded on the
cement covers but many were painted on white glass ovals embedded in the
cement..
ANY Saba information WELCOME.............

Are the surnames HAZELL / HAZAL / HASELL found on other Islands of interest or
are they completely different families and origins?

1911, there are many HASSEL / HAZZEL / HASELL surnames throughout, so it
appears this surname is spread through the islands. Whether these families
are related or not is another story.

for some time been trying to get them ordered from my local library.. I
need a lookup for my great grandfather .. I do not know if the name was
john or George or a combination of the two, Hassell .. he was suppose to be
married to a Elizabeth Mardenborough.. Their only son John Mardenborough
Hassell was my great grandfather / They according to story were suppose
have died when John was quite young 6 or 7 .. while living on St. Thomas.
John Mardenborough Hasssell was suppose to have been sent to live with an
Aunt on Saba..John's death Cert. gives the birth date as 1846. He died in
1909 on Saba. Thanks

associated with Saba especially has been spelled different ways by
different members of the family, also you never know about the
registrars.

Ethnicity..black
Name..Octavius Hassell
Wonder if he is descended from Hassells on Saba Island. Possibly a descendent of slaves on a Saba Island plantation.
