The co-author of the book and website editor (Robert at Haresnape.com)

The site is dedicated to the Haresnape family who now live in many countries around the world, but have their early origins in the North West of England.

This site has the special benefit of containing the major parts of the book "Haresnape a family history" by Ken Warhurst and Robert Haresnape. The book (and this site) presents raw data but also tries to explain the reasons why family individuals took their particular life paths by providing a generalised historical background.

The domain hopes to continue to gather information and to build on the content of this fascinating book.

This site belongs to all Haresnapes throughout the world, it hopes to grow as the family contribute more and more information about both our ancestors and those Haresnapes alive today.

Any background history, pictures, indeed information of any kind is welcome and can be placed here on the site or deposited with Robert who currently maintains the records about the Haresnape family.

Although the site has existed for some years now, new information turns up from unexpected places.

eg.

Hearsneps

We learned that a man named William Hearsnep (from Lancashire) had emigrated to Ontario, Canada, way back in the 1830s from England. Descendants of William Hearsnep have produced various websites which provide details of the family lines ensuing from his marriage in Canada.

We have recently been given some information which may suggest a link of some Hearsneps to the main family tree. (thanks to Anne Porter and Veronica Oldham) - see book part 1, and section regarding "Hearsneps, Harsnips and Others". The Hearsnep(click here) file in the main text has been updated.
