I didn't have any luck finding a connection.My Frederick Hensel came to the United States from Switzerland and settled in Somerset Co., Pennsylvania.Disappeared in War of 1812. The descendents I'm aware of went to Tuscarawas Co., OH and others that went on to Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.I have entered a log of Hensel names maintained by three generations.Surprisingly, I only had 1 Michael and he was born in 1968.Although I don't doubt that there branches that have a spelling variation, I haven't dug far enough to find any Hansell's.Good luck.I'llkeep an eye out for your Michael.
