Dear Listers, My gr-grandparents were GOTTFRIED GOTTLIEB DROSIHN, musician, (3/18/1816/19-6/15/1890) & LUISE PAULINA ZULEGER (11/30/1822-4/10/1870). The Latter Day Saints IGI lists baptisms of their children at the Dom Berlin Stadt, Brandenburg, Preussen between 1845 and 1854. The oldest son, Hugo, is listed as child of Luise Paulina Zuleger and CHRISTIAN GOTTLIEB DROSIHN. The family was in New York City by 1861 when my grandfather, EDWARD DROSIHN, was born. As a very young child, my mother was told by her elderly Uncle Hugo that the family name had originally been French, and he related to her the history of the family's flight from religious persecution. But the unfamiliar place names did not remain in her memory. Does anyone know of any Huguenot history connected with ASCHERSLEBEN, a town on the northern edge of the lower Hartz Mountains in Saxony-Anhalt? Of the four Drosihn families living in America, and the three we have contacted of those who live in Germany, all had originally come from ASCHERSLEBEN. The IGI lists marriages and baptisms at Aschersleben, Saxe-Pruss under the name TROSIHN AND DROSIHN from 1610 to 1700. An on-line genealogy gives the marriage of a Catherine Drosihn at Aschersleben in 1572. If any of you notice surnames or placenames that approximate DROSIHN or TROSIHN as you search through Huguenot hitstories and church lists, I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Elaine S.
