Early land registry records and Trafalgar census records from 1851, 1871, 1881 use the family surname spelling, "Hagar". However, the 1861 census and the family gravestones in the Palermo cemetery use the spelling "Hager". Discussion with family in 2016 shows that most family members use the spelling "Hager" with the exception of one descendent group who preferred the other. During our discussion, we also found records with the following spellings - likely as interpreted from the new immigrants by Customs officials - Hauger, Hegi, Hauge. - Inscriptions
- The sign on the porch reads:
Maison Blanche Rooms & Meals
The sign out by the road says: Chinchilla Rabbits, Guinea Pigs Palermo "Parquetry and Cany Sales"?? Could this be "Parakeet and Canary Sales??" - Subject(s)
