The Haskell Journal is the official newsletter of the Haskell Family Association. The Journal is distributed to all members and includes news of family members, reunions, articles about Haskells, Haskell locales, genealogy, history and other matters of importance to the membership. The Journal is published three times per year and normally contains 28 pages. A subscription to the Haskell Journal is included with membership in the Haskell Family Association.

We created a specialized version of ChatGPT called Haskell Family Association, in which we uploaded all past issues of the Haskell Journal. You can ask it any question about the Haskell family and genealogy. It will respond not only using any information that is on the internet, but also what may be in past issues of the Haskell Journal. This Haskell Family Association ChatGPT is available to anyone at www.tinyurl.com/HFAjournal. You can use ChatGPT free for a limited amount of time each day, or as long as you want by subscribing for $20 per month.

The first issues of Volume 1 were privately published as The Haskell Journal, a Monthly Magazine devoted to the History, Genealogy, Biography and Current News of the Haskell Family in America, and to Current and General Literature by D. H. Haskell, R. R. Haskell, and B. C. Haskell, all of California and perhaps all of San Francisco. The “editor and manager” of the publication was the infamous and storied Burnette Gregor Haskell 1857-1907. No formal Haskell organization was involved or developed as a result of this publication effort. Burnette Haskell was an attorney, a wild political and labor activist, and a member of the S. F. Bar Association. It was a private publication effort. Only four issues were produced, all from San Francisco: No. 1 Jan.1898, No. 2 Feb. 1898, No. 3 Mar. 1898, and No. 4 Apr. 1898. Publication was ceased after the fourth issue due to a lack of subscribers and money.
