Information provided by Leo Cusell of Belgium
Cusell web page

Our family name is spelled Cusell since early 1800. In the 2nd half of the18th century it was spelled both as Kusell and Cusell, in all cases with 2 l's , which is typical in Swedish.

I have traced my ancestors to 1745 when a Jocob Frederik Kusell was born in Stralsund. Stralsund is now a city in Germany, but used to belong to Sweden in the 18th century.

Jacob Frederik Kusell moved to Holland and married a Dutch girl. All his descendants are known and almost all of them live in the Netherlands (I happen to live in Belgium).

In Spain live several generations of people with the name Cusell as well. I have been unable to find out if and how they are related to the Dutch branch.

In the course of many years during which I have done more or less genealogical research, I have obtained a lot of names from various archives that are related to the Cusell/Kusell family name, particularly the name Kusell or Küsel in Germany.

I have listed all of them, but have been unable to find a link with our family.
