RUSSELL--From the French signifying reddish, carrot colored hair. The ancestry of the family has been traced to Sigurd Hring Turstain, King of Sweden, 735. A 13th generation descendent of Turstain, William Bertrand and his son Hugh were at the battle of Hastings. Hugh inherited the castle of Rozel in England. Bertrand was corrupted to Russell in the 12th century.
