Hello,

If you wish to talk about the Essex County New Jersey Gsell's just ask. I am the Grandson of Ernest A. Gsell

BTW, the print factory was in Harrison, New Jersey across from Newark, never in Newark.

Not that I am aware of, but Sharon at "askorman@aol.com" may be. She is a Gsell relative on the "House " side of the family.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your reply! What do you mean by the "house" side of the family?

Vernelle,

The "House" side of the family is one of three married daughters of Ernest F. Gsell. The siblings of Ernest F. Gsell and Catherine S. Gsell were: Beatrice, twins Dettie and ?, and Ernest A. the 2nd. Dettie married William House. Obviously then, my grandfather was Ernest A. Gsell. (Because my last name is Gsell)

There you go. Write with other questions and how are you related?

Hi Keith,
My greatgrandmother was Catherine Gsell. She married Jacob Straumann in Colmar, Alsace. They moved to Chicago. She was born about 1850. I understand that the family was from Switzerlsnd originally. Does your research go that far back? Also, there was some reference to royalty in the family. Have you ever heard of that?
My Gsell cousins live in New Jersey, but I don't know them. My father's cousin Gladys knows them.
Thanks,
Vernelle

Surnames: Gsell
Vernelle, Can you ask your relative that knows the Gsell family in NJ if she recognizes any of the names Keith gave you? Also have you got a Barbara and Nicholas Gsell on your family tree. If we are related to you it would seem one of your grandfathers may have had a brother named Nicholas. Yes, our family story, was well as census tells us that Nicholas was from France, possibly Haut-Rhin , Alsace..but we have nothing documenting this other than Census and a Death certificate of Ernest F Gsell stating that his father was from France. hope this helps .

Surnames: Gsell
I have been in touch witha Raymond Gsell in Basking Ridge NJ born 1921 sister is Marie there father was Francis Antony Gsell born 1880 in Newark . Francis father was Henri Gsell..they lived in the same town as Our Barbra widow to Nicholas did as the same time. Wondering if they are related.Not sure where I got this info..years ago but it maybe that both this Henri and our Nicholas were both born in Alsace Lorraine. Something to think on.
