The Thorsell run of names seems to have surfaced in the US to simplify payroll in logging camps in the Northwest from what I have always heard. There are many Thorsell's in present day Sweden but in visiting with them they do not appear to be direct relatives. I have also found some in Eastern Canada. Others in Minnesota around Argyle and St. Paul. I also recall hearing that there was a large farming operation in Sweden referred to as the Thorsell operation. Seems to be a spin off from the Andersons to the Thorsells in the mid 1800's from the way records reveal. Rod Thorsell 1/18/2011. Other theories or information?
