Surnames: Gross - Schact Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IWg.2ACIB/1237 Message Board Post: Hi, I am looking for any information on Valentina Schact, born 1871. She married Louis P. Gross and had nine children, seven who lived. They lived in Cincinnati, Ohio. I cannot find any information on Valentina. Schact is not a name common to the Ohio region. So I would like to know any information possibly relating to Valentina's ancestry. Also, I would be interested to know the origins of the name "Schact." Finally, I also need information on Louis P. Gross' ancestry. He migrated from Bavaria. I have much information on their decendents. Thanks, Laura Gross, their great, great, grand-daughter
