I know People have a lot of Ideas here and that's because of how we trace our own
family line.... Tracing the Cassel and cassell name brought me back to find this info: The
CASSEL family can trace their ancestors back to the ancient territories of between the
11th and 12th centuries. The CASSEL family traces their ancestral roots back to origin,
and first appeared in ancient medieval records in 3110 Lincolnshire.
Components of the cassel Family Name Coat of Arms
The Shield is: Silver with a red chevron between two crosses at the top and a key at the
base.
The Crest is: A gold dolphin.
The motto is: "Avise La Fin"
Meaning motto - Avise la fin. (Weigh to the end)
Wether this is spot on, well they have a scroll that contains information on heritage of
the cassels in those times.
I have trace or found some in germany but I haven't found any info before then.
