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.

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 had emigrated to Ontario, Canada, way back in the 1820s from Lancashire, England. A descendant of William Hearsnep has produced a website which gives details of the generations coming down from William. Consequently we now have a link to a website pertaining to Hearsnep genealogy which is hoped may be linked into the main Haresnape family tree when hard evidence is found.

Do have a look at Russell Strodbeck's web page on the Hearsnep family at

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.
