Hello Fellow Haslams!
This post is to all my Brothers and Sisters, to inform you of our origin. I wish to clear any doubts of people thinking Lancaster or Ireland were our origins.
My name is James Haslam, my email is James@Haslam.com.
Hasal is German for Hazel. Am is German for by.
So Hasalam (Haslam) means one who dwells by the Hazels.
I come from Derbyshire, England, where Haslams first settled as Saxons, in a town called Crich.
Haslams then radiated out, to Ireland, Lancashire and now America (mainly Florida, Michigan and Utah).
The town of Crich, Derbyshire has a church with hundreds of Haslam Tombstones, and etchings on the wall, some of them are even from Haslam Clergy. Those etchings are significant Historic Landmarks. The church was built around half a millenium after Christ, and is right oposite a woods called Hazelwoods. That woods is where our name originated.
Not Ireland. Not Lancashire. Not Florida. Not Michigan.
