| Umm... lets see, this might be slightly complicated, since i completely blow at math, but anyways, my grandfather being 100% german, on my fathers side, and his mother being of spanish roots, but im pretty sure thats 100% also. My grandmother on my mothers side being mostly 50% basque, 50% spanish, and my Grandfather on my mothers side being 50% british/25%german/25%Iresh Ancestry. Therefor, im a freak, and dont really look like im from any particular nation. .... but im a US and PANAMANIAN citizen, so ...ya that complicates things just a tad bit more, but i dont consider myself to be anything other than a bloody human. |

some guy is writing a book about my origins..this is an exerptfrom a letter he sent me about the origins of my mother's maiden name.
The surname Scusel or Scussel was first registered in the parish registers of the upper Agordo Valley, prov. of Belluno in NE Italy, or the Dolomitic Alps. Parish registers begin between 1550 and 1600, right after the end of the Council of Trent, which made the bearing of family surnames compulsory and ordered priests to keep registers of baptysms, marriages and deaths in their parishes. In choosing a surname families selected the profession in which they were engaged, the locality they came from, etc. Etimologists in the Agordo Valley believe that the surname Scussel comes from the Ladin scusa or skusa, meaning peeling or bark, and points to the profession of the early Scusels or Scussels as timbermen and tree debarkers.
From the upper Agordo Valley the Scussels migrated to the lower Agordo valley where there are nine parishes, and also went over the Duran Pass to the adjacent Zoldo Valley. There are a lot of Scussels in Forno di Zoldo. Since the end of World War II the name spread in other parts of Italy, coinciding with the general emigration of people from the Alps to better horizons. It also went abroad as far as Australia.
Before World War I, beginning from 1890, the Scussels, like many other people from the prov. of Belluno, emigrated to the U.S. Many remained here, married women from Piedmont or France and founded their own families. As a rule, the people from the upper Agordo and the Zoldo valleys went to New England, especially to Stafford Springs, Connecticut, to work in the textile mills, whereas people from the lower Agordo Valley went to Calumet in Northern Michigan or to Bingham Canyon, Utah, to work in the copper mines. Stafford Springs used to be full of Scussels, and the white pages still show some Scussels residing there, some spelling their surname as Scussell, probably to keep the accent on the “e”, or the second syllable, as in the original name. Others have since moved to other parts of New England. |
