Haskell_Journal

The Haskell Journal is the official newsletter of the Haskell Family Association. The Journal is distributed to all members and includes news of family members, reunions, articles about Haskells, Haskell locales, genealogy, history and other matters of importance to the membership. The Journal is published three times per year and normally contains 28 pages. A subscription to the Haskell Journal is included with membership in the Haskell Family Association.

History of the Haskell Journal

The first issues of Volume 1 were privately published as The Haskell Journal, a Monthly Magazine devoted to the History, Genealogy, Biography and Current News of the Haskell Family in America, and to Current and General Literature by D. H. Haskell, R. R. Haskell, and B. C. Haskell, all of California and perhaps all of San Francisco. The “editor and manager” of the publication was the infamous and storied Burnette Gregor Haskell 1857-1907. No formal Haskell organization was involved or developed as a result of this publication effort. Burnette Haskell was an attorney, a wild political and labor activist, and a member of the S. F. Bar Association. It was a private publication effort. Only four issues were produced, all from San Francisco: No. 1 Jan.1898, No. 2 Feb. 1898, No. 3 Mar. 1898, and No. 4 Apr. 1898. Publication was ceased after the fourth issue due to a lack of subscribers and money.

The first HFA organization was formed in 1911 in Rochester, Massachusetts, as the “Haskell Family Association”; it was disbanded in 1925.

In 1984, Win Haskell and Ola Mae set about to reestablish the Haskell Family Organization and the Haskell Journal with the following Volume II, Issue 5, calling the issues published in 1898 Volume I, Issues 1 - 4.

Issue 5: TO: HASKELLS EVERYWHERE

They published four issues in 1985. You can read the following Issues 6 and 7.

Issue 6: Vol. II, No. 2, Winter 1985
