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.
