Just started, already feeling lost! I'm researching my grandfather's family, Bernard Ward Haas. Born 1900 in Pittsburgh, PA, son of Bernard Haas (1857-1937) and Mary Ann Ward (1867-1941). Married Frances Wood in 1936. All Pittsburgh area. Bernard W. Haas sisters: Anna Leona (1887-1938) Sarah Elizabeth (1889-1918) Maria Susanna (1893-1918). Any information would be greatly appreciated! Maureen

My Haas line is very short, but would love to correspond with anyone associated with it. My 3rd great grandmother was Catherine Haas born @ 1797 and married Morand Harnist on April 25, 1823 in Willer, France. Her parents were Pierre Haas and Anne Marie Brand. They were all from the Willer, France area. I have copied all the records (that I can read) from Willer, France from about 1686-1860 and there are alot of Haas names in there, I would be glad to look for anyone to see if theirs is there, just let me know. Thanks. Doug Negus negus@nwidt.com

I am researching Rachel HAAS born 9 Mar 1800 in PA, married Samuel W. Day 12 Feb 1824 in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA, and died 13 Feb 1876 in Norristown, Montgomery, PA where she is buried. Samuel and Rachel also lived in Flourtown, Montgomery, PA. I would like to find Rachel's parents, Sue-Ann Jacobson

I am specifically searching for the parents or siblings of Anna Maria Haas, mother of Cyriak Haas. Anna Maria HAAS was born about 1840, most likely in Oedsbach or Lautenbach in Baden, Germany. Because she was illegitimate, I got stuck here. We only know about her son Cyriak. My other area of interest ist Anton Haas, who immigrated arround 1910-1914, possibly to USA, but also other countries like Brazil or Australia. Absolutely no records are available, the only thing my father remembers from his father (Anton's halfbrother)was a postcard from Hamburg, therefore we assume he left Germany from Hamburg harbor. ---- Descendants of Franziska BOHNERT and Cyriak HAAS First Generation 1. Franziska BOHNERT was born 4 Mar 1863 in Winterbach, BAD, DEU. She died 24 Jun 1942 in Oberkirch. Franziska married (1) UNKNOWN. They had the following children: 2 M i.

Emigrated approx. 1910-1914 possibly to USA (??), no records available. 3 M ii. Karl BOHNERT was born 15 Jul 1891 in Lautenbach, BAD. He died 28 Jul 1891 in Lautenbach. BIOGRAPHY: Sohn der ledigen Franziska Bohnert Franziska also married (2) Cyriak HAAS, son of Anna Maria HAAS, on 22 Nov 1892 in Oberkirch. Cyriak was born 26 May 1866 in Ödsbach, BAD, DEU.

I doubt that we're related, but I have talked to Ray and Leroy via email. My family came from Alsace-Lorainne in the 1700s and settled in Reading and Virginia. I trace to John Turner Haas in Woodstock, Virginia, as well as David Isaac and Irvin, Walker, Gillock, Grove and Hoffman in the Shenandoah Valley. Good luck with the reunion.

Dear List: My Gr.Grandmother's name was Louisa/e HAAS, born in Schwarzburg,Germany in 1849. Her father's name was John, and he was married to a Molly BAKEY/BOKOA. I believe I found Louisa and her husband Carl Frederick William HIPPNER's gravestone in Freeport , IL. I have someone else's death certificate, for her husband, in case anyone needs one. Don't know where to start looking in Germany or here either. any suggestions? Good Hunting! Opal Woodford Hantke

Hi to all, Not sure if there are any family connections, and life has me on the run right now, please check out our Haas Family web site, and see if there are any ties http://www.thf.net Good luck in your search You might also contact my cousins, who are the actual heros in our family, as they brought us all together. My branch of the family was actually a long lost missing link, just reconnected about five (5) years ago.

My father Thomas Elbert Haas was from Gaston, Gastonia, Roanoke Rapids NC area. His father was Luther Haas. His uncle was John Haas. He had several brothers and sisters. One sister was Julia and one was Mary. One I think, they called Weensie. His grandfather and grandmother were supposedly full-blooded Cherokee. I am looking for any information that will help me trace this family heritage. Thank you. Sheila Haas Almond hihowru@geocities.com -- ÐÏࡱá

My line is very short. My Great-grandmother was Rebecca Jane Haas. She was born somewhere in Pennsylvania 21 Jan 1840. 21 Oct 1860 she married William DeHart. There obituaries contradict each other as to where they were married. One says Commontown, PA, which I cannot find, and the other says Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana. I've looked at the film at my local Family History Center and could not find there marriage in it. Rebecca's parents were Isaac S. and Susannah Haas. He was born around 1809 in Pennsylvania and died in 1881, probably in Monmouth, Warren County, Illinois. Susannah, I don't know her maiden name, was born around 1814 in Pennsylvania and died, probably in Monmouth, Warren County, Illinois. I cannot seem to find Isaac and Susannah in any census until 1870. They were living in Warren County, IL with Joseph and Francis Shoemaker. It appears that Francis is their daughter. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff DeHart Altadena, CA

Hi, our first ancester to come to the United States was Peter Haas, b. 1824, d 1895, he came to America in 1849. He lived in Portsmouth Ohio, and Wheelersburg, Ohio, both in Scioto Co, and finally in Pine Grove, Ohio in Lawrence Co, first located in the us censs in 1850 in Scioto Co, Ohio, he was living in Portsmouth along with many other German immigrants to came to this area to work in the iron ore mining industry. We believe Peter had brother named George, and John. My family has done extensive research, going to Germany on many occasions and have been unable to place Peter in Germany, they have not found the ship that he came over on. they know that he was from the Rhineland in Germany. Peter married Fredericka Thieken, also from Germany, and they have found her family in Germany and a family farm that has been in the Thieken family documented since the 1500's. Our real experts and researchers are my cousins, Pete Haas - rhaas@jps.net, and Leroy Haas - lhaas@isd.net. we also have a wonderful family web sight http://www.thf.net/contents.html (hope that is current site name - Pete or Leroy could better help you I am sure. Very nice to hear from you - who knows we could still be family. Best of luck.
