Dear Darlene, I have ancestors from the Ahorntal region in the valley below Hohenmirsberg, have visited briefly the Catholic church in Hohenmirsberg, have connections to the Haas family who emigrated to Illinois from nearby Poppendorf/Adlitz with my great-grandmother Cordula Schmidt, and have visited the Bamberg Church Archive. I have a Lorenz Haas born in 1843 (in Mascoutah?) in my data bank. Is he yours? I would like very much to trade stories and information with you. Please contact me privately at [email protected] .

My great grandfather is Lorenz Haas and I have much information on the Haas families of IL, USA. I don't know if any of this family remained in Germany. If anyone is familiar with the Hohenmirsberg area, I would love a little description. Anything would help and make me happy! Auf wiedersehen. Darlene ==== BAVARIA Mailing List ==== Going on Vacation?
