 England
The earliest origins of the Badgeler surname date from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain.

Migration of the Badgeler familyMany English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks.
