Welcome to the Home Page of
THE HAGEN HOWLER.
Genealogy
is a pastime that becomes an obsession.
It is never completed, from the
first ancestor to the last descendant,
there is always something new to
discover.
This is me, the compiler.
This project and its links are presently under construction. Since "the attention to detail determines the difference between superiority and mediocrity" -- you will have to have patience.
The Compiler
The history has been compiled and researched by Dean C. Hagen. (with the help and assistance of many other people), whom you will meet during your visit.
The Dedication
When I first started this project I believed that this entire history would be dedicated to my parents, OSCAR MELVIN HAGEN and FRANCES
LOUISE BERLIN HAGEN.
This was mainly because if it had not been for them I would not have been here. As I proceeded through the research and met ancestors that I never knew I had, I realized that if it had not been for those ancestors, Oscar Melvin Hagen and Frances Louise Berlin Hagen would not have been here either. Therefore, It appears that this entire family history should be dedicated to all of us whether we are ancestors or descendants -- and hope that some day one of the descendants will become interested enough to carry on this endeavor. I believe both my mother and father would have agreed with this decision.
Therefore, this history is dedicated to my parents, OSCAR MELVIN HAGEN and FRANCES LOUISE BERLIN, their ancestors, their family and their descendants.
I hope you will enjoy your visit and that you will return to see if any new information has been researched.
My Sources
I have not included a separate list of source's to confirm my findings. I have included them in the writings. The hard copies of any census records or documents that are quoted are available in a repository within my Home Files. When circumstantial evidence is used to suggest a confirmation of data it is noted as being just that; also, if assumptions are made by the compiler or that unproven family stories are used, it is noted and in no way should they be regarded as fact. You may contact me at dchagen@chartermi.net if you have questions, comments, corrections, criticisms -- or -- if you just want to say hello.
