Hi there from Germany, My name is Willi Haas and I am possibly related to your Haas line because my Haas greatgrandparents are also from the village Oedsbach (now part of the city of Oberkirch, Baden), and Sendelbach is just a part of Oedsbach. Problem so far is that my greatgrandmother Anna Maria Haas, born arround 1860 in Oedsbach most like was illegitimate and were not able to find out who her parents were and if she has had any siblings. Therefore we can't link to any other Haas from that area. I am hoping that sometimes somebody has a Haas in his line with a daughter Anna Maria. We assume she must be born about 1860, because she gave birth to her son Cyriak Haas on May 26, 1866. Regards, Willi Haas Some of the names in your post I've already seen in the data I received from Karen Donohue at gfx@pathway.net or http://www.pathway.net/gfx/WC_toc.htm.and and from Mary Louise at NinjaMema@aol.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Z0k1@aol.com [mailto:Z0k1@aol.com] > Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2000 11:03 PM > To: HAAS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [HAAS-L] "HAAS & HEPTIGs from Baden, Germany - searching for > connection w/ ggrandfather." > > > Greetings! > > It's been just short of a year now since I've started my ancestral quest; > I have one wonderful and gregarious great-grandfather who has > never shared > his family history with his grandchildren; Frank HEPTIG (b. 1869, Baden, > Germany). > My great-grandfather had a brother "Willie" William HEPTIG, b. > abt. 1859, > possibly > in Tiergarten, Baden, Germany; "Uncle Willie" I have found on the > New York > State 1920 Census as living in Brooklyn, NY- at 305 Power Street, > with his > two children: > Frederick age 34, Rose age 31, & a niece- Mary IMMEL, age 14. > > Frank HEPTIG m.
