Is the name Gassan or Gasson? If it is Gassan I may be able to help Albert Grulke -----Original Message----- From: eddie&kay cavanagh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 4 February 2002 8:13 To: [email protected] Subject: [AUS-GERMAN] Gasson Family Hi List I'm a newbie to this list and wondering if anyone can help me. My 3ggrandparents came out to Sth Aust on the San Francisco in 1850. They were Johann his wife Marie nee Schneider and child (report from newspaper). My 2 ggrandmother Elizabeth would have been about 15 at this time. According to the Hoffnunstahl Church Register she was born at Turnow in Brandenburg 18 Aug 1835. The passenger manifest was no help as the G pages were stuck together. Does anyone know anything about this family? Elizabeth m Karl Lemm, they lived at Hoffnungstahl and then moved to PetersHill and he died in 1872 at Point Pass, she remarried in 1888 at Tarcowie to a Thomas Ford. Her death was at Tarcowie 1900. Johann Gasson died at PetersHill 1862. I cannot find the death of Marie Gasson, I'm wondering if she remarried or whether like her son in law Karl Lemm her death is not recorded in SA records. (Info of his death was found by a distant relative at the Lutheran Archives, Nth Adelaide. Before I found this out, a connection checked the records at the Point Pass Lutheran Church and found he was buried at Immanuel Point Pass Cemetery).
