The Genealogy Reports listed below treat the American descendant family trees of the three pioneer Haskell brothers born in Charlton Musgrove, Somerset, England, sons of William and Elinor (Foule) Haskell (these are large files and might take a long time to load):
(1) The descendants of William Haskell ca1618-1693 and his wife Mary Tybott, who settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1643;
(2) The descendants of Roger Haskell ca1614-ca1667 and his wife Elizabeth Hardy who settled in what is now Beverly, Massachusetts, in 1639; and
(3) The descendants of Mark Haskell ca 1621-ca1668 and his wife Hannah Woodbury who settled in what is now Beverly, Massachusetts, between 1658 and 1663.
With few exceptions all Haskells in the world are descended from a single family in southwestern England.
For those interested in Haskell/Hascall/Haskill family history and genealogy, much information on the American descendants of this family is available in the book "Chronicles of the Haskell Family" by Ira J. Haskell, published in 1943 by the Ellis Printing Co., Lynn, Massachusetts. Reprints of this important book are available from Higginson Book Co., 148 Washington Street, PO Box 778, Salem, MA 01970 (telephone 978-745-7170 or on the Internet at www.higginsonbooks.com).

The Anthology, based on exhaustive research, is world-wide in coverage and an important publication for anyone interested in Haskell family history. Volume 1 is 212 pages with 41 chapters plus Introduction and Index; softbound 8-1/2 x 11-1/4 inches. Volume 2 is 211 pages with 39 chapters. Order from the author: Winthrop A.

There are two Haskell family organizations. The Haskell Family Association is based in North America. A quarterly journal is regularly published; dues of $15/year should be sent to Mrs. Patricia DeCiccio, Treasurer HFA, 822 West Bonnie Brae Court, Ontario, CA 91762-1503. The International Haskell Family Society is based in the United Kingdom. A quarterly journal is regularly published. Dues are USD16/GBP11 for single membership and USD29/GBP16 for family membership. For membership or more information write to Mrs. Maureen Emmins, Ella Farm House, Appersett Hawes, N. Yorkshire, DL8 3LN, ENGLAND. Potential North American members should send checks (in USD and payable to Mervin Stevens) to Mevin Stevens, PO Box 220, Walpole, NH 03608, USA.
The Haskell Family Association sponsored a reunion, local tours, and a banquet at the Sheraton Ferncroft Resort in Danvers, Massachusetts, in July 2002. A similar reunion with tours and a banquet was held at the Patriot's Point Holiday Inn in Charleston, South Carolina, in April 2006. The next reunion will be in September 2008 in Maine with a banquet and tours to Deer Isle and Acadia Natl Park. The 17th annual reunion and business meeting ("2007 - From Whence We Came") of the International Haskell Family Society was held in Salisbury, Dorset, England, June 20-23, 2007. A banquet and local tours were offered. Contact David A. Haskell (address below) for additional information on all reunions. All members, non-members, relatives, and interested persons are always cordially invited to attend all Haskell family reunions and events.
