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.
