My Husband has a Brother by this name and he lost contact with him several years ago. Thanks, You are soo right about the spelling of the name 'HAAS', in Europe, where I have lived, it is spelled 'HAUS', sometimes!

The problem of spelling our name is not new to the members of this list. As common as it is today, just think about 50, 100 or more years ago when even fewer people could read or write. Don't limit your search to one spelling, you will miss many possible connections. Good luck & keep an open mind.
