Hasbrouck, Hasbrook, Hasbrooke,
HasBrook, HasBrouck, Hasbroek

Though the name is spelled in a variety of ways, it is accepted that virtually all Hasbrouck’s in America are descended from the brothers Jean and Abraham, French Huguenots, who both arrived in America in the early 1670’s. The stone houses their families built in 1721 still stand on Huguenot Street in New Paltz, NY over 300 years later.

The Organization - The Hasbrouck Family Association (HFA) was founded in 1957. Its primary goals were the purchase of the Abraham Hasbrouck House and the documentation of family history. (The Jean Hasbrouck House already belonged to the Huguenot Historical Society, with which HFA is affiliated.) The Association now has a membership of over 300. It holds an annual gathering in New Paltz and publishes a newsletter that addresses items of common interest regarding the houses and our heritage, as well as topics submitted or requested by members. It also solicits, maintains, and makes available family genealogy information, as well as historical information. If you are a Hasbrouck descendent and not already a member of HFA, you can join today by selecting the ‘New Member Signup’ in the menu bar above.

Genealogy - Kenneth E. Hasbrouck, Sr. devoted more than 45 years to documenting the brothers’ lines of descent. The results of his efforts are published in The Hasbrouck Family In America, Volumes I-VI, including European background in Volumes I & II. HFA continues to update the family genealogy. While Hasbrouck's have an extensive family tree in the US, we do not know the names of the parents of Abraham and Jean. We are working with European genealogists to find their identities.
