This is an attempt to document the visual history of some Hauerslev family members through the use of  old tainted stills. It is mainly done for my own interest sake, and to be able to tell my children about "the old days". As a little boy, my knowledge of the Hauerslev history was limited to the "excitement" of knowing there were two small Danish towns by the name "Haverslev" and that my granddad had 12 siblings (wow!!).

I never had a big family - it was limited to my parents, their parents and of course my siblings, Henrik and Rasmus. Fortunately, the family is now growing and a simple query on the internet gives you names and addresses of many other hauerslevs.

My interest in genealogy was re-activated when my father asked me to reply to a letter from Tammy Høy McIntire in Kansas City (USA), who originally had addressed the letter to my mother. Read her notes about Bothilde Hauerslev. 

Unfortunately, I never finished my family history talks with my dad, when he suddenly passed away in 2003. I inherited some old photos in an album from him with tainted stills which I will gradually post here.

My work is continuously inspired by Tammy's enthusiasm for genealogy and I have only scratched the surface of Hauerslev genealogy. Luckily, there are people out there who are far more knowledgeable about this than I am, and you will probably be a able to spot mistakes here and there. My work is always to be considered a "work in progress" and from time to time, I will add new images and information.

Please, feel free to write your own "Hauerslev Story" and send it to me for publication here on hauerslev.com.
