My grndfather on my mother's side, David Axel, was born in Eastern Europe, presumably Russia, in the late 19th century, and died in New York City in 1951. I understand he lost most of his family in Europe in the Holocaust, although he had at least one siter , Mollie, who also came to this country. I'm not sure if his name actually was a derivative of some other name, or much else about the origins of this family. Please let me know if this is helpful, or if you might be interested in more recent family information. David P. Buchholtz

My Axell line is from Sweden - late 1800 early 1900

My g-g-grandparents were Wilhelmina and Frederick Axel-Who would be my grandpa -Walter William Frederick Henning II's grandparent's. His parents' were Otto and Emma Henning--so Axel must come from his Mother's side. I'm pretty sure they would have lived here in Wisconsin????

I have a Helena who married Albert Axel, whose relatives, Wilma Axel, Werner Axel, and Walter Axel attended William Liebbe's (of Muscatine, IA) funeral in 1937. Helena was a step-sister of Wm. Liebbe.

Christie..... Did you also have a message posted on the Henning message board? Just Wondering? I thought I saw your name? Maybe were searching for the same people?

Re: Axel Family in Wisconsin
Where in Wisconsin? I know a little about Axel/Achsel family in Sheboygan and Manitowoc Counties.

Warren, I guess that your Axell link to Sweden is Emilia Maria Axell, born 1858-08-07 in Ryda parish, Skaraborg county, in the Swedish province Vastergotland. She was married to August Rosenlund, born 1851-12-19 in Skarhult parish, Malmohus county, in the Swedish province Skane.
They emigrated from Goteborg, Sweden, 1922-03-07 (maybe Rosenlund Travel Service Inc arranged their trip?) Six sons had emigrated earlier.
Emilia’s father Johan Patrik Axell who had altogether 16 (!) children was born 1817-12-27 in Bottnaryd parish, Jonkoping county, in the Swedish province Smaland.
Do you already know those Axells?
