The Hazboun Family Union was founded in March 1995 upon request by active members of the family, to keep its heritage in the Holy Land, Palestine

The roots of the family in Bethlehem go back many centuries. According to records of the Parish Church of St. Catherine (Franciscan Fathers), the family tree dates back to 1610, translated from Latin to Arabic. Oral Family tradition goes back to an earlier period in the 7th century AD, to the Byzantine era. According to one family tradition, our ancestors originally immigrated from Hasban Tel, now in Jordan to Bethlehem and then acquired the name Hazboun. It is one of the larger clans (tribes) in Bethlehem with more than 100 families, as shown by records in our telephone directory. More Hazbouns are in the Diaspora, mainly in Central and South America. They emigrated during the Ottoman Empire for political and economic reasons, followed by more emigration during the British Mandate in Palestine and the Israeli occupation, mainly to the USA.

On the Internet you will find pages and addressess of our family abroad, now thousands in numbers, whether spelled with H or A as first letter, wih "s" instead of "z", or without"ou", etc.
