Hi
Something to start the New Year off with
Everyone has told me so much about this Major John Rossell.
So I looked into it Here is what I found and I am quoting from source records fo the New York Russell family records.
"William Bertrand son of Trustain Fastenburg was with his son Hugh at the Battle of Hastings. He was a cousin of Matilda Countess of Flanders and a cousin to William The Conqueror, He became Baron of Bricquebec in 1028 and was the first to use the family crest: Hugh La Rozel,Lord of Barreville and La Rozel, son of William Bertrand took the name La Rozel from the castle he inherited in England. He was born about 1021 in Briequebec Normandy and accompanied the Conqueror to England taking part in the battle of Hastings and was allotted large properties in Nottingamshire and Derbyshire England.
Richard De Rozel son of Hugh was also Lord of Rozel. He took part in the first Cursade and inherited a great estate from his father,
Hugh De Rozel son of Richard born 1119 and died in 1163, he owned large eswtates and gave it away to charity. He also was in the First Crusade and married a woman of great wealth no name given.
Robert De Russell son of Hugh was born 1130 he spelled his name Rozell as well as Russell. He was in command of the Earl of Chester at the battle of Lincoln died 1201"
This linage is carried on down to your Major John Russell/Rossell ( I do have the rest but do not feel like typing it all out, 5 pages worth)
So as you can see I don't understand the Major John Rossell story of Castles and such. When the Rozel name was stollen by another family. And if this is our linage then it starts in Denmark and Germany not France.
I know records are hard to find but but they can be found.
