I've just completed digitizing and uploading a Hansel/Hansler family genealogy based on an old book that I believe was compiled by (Benjamin?) Franklin Hansel, 1853-1940. Hansel is one of the family names that connects to the Willette/Ouelette line on this site. The book starts with Hans Hansel around the early 1700's, and it is mostly a list of names with some personal accounts. The bulk of the information (412 people & 147 families) has been loaded into the family tree database - but there is more that I did not input yet. The records start here with Hans Hansel and his descendants.

Photo from Jacob Hansel/Hansler (gg-grandson of Hans Hansel) family reunion, 1 Jul 1916.

  Do you know the names of the people in the photo?
  
  What is the source of the photo -- where it came from or where it is stored now -- i.e -- a library or archives or personal collection??
  
  Thanks, Kim

  This photo was inside a family genealogy record book, and yes I can make out some of the names. I'll work on posting them soon.

  That would be great. I have two photos of Hansel family reunions -- unlabelled -- but I can identify my great-grandparents and my great-great-grandparents -- direct descendants of John Hedden & Christina Hansel.
  Perhaps these people (above) are in the photo as well.
