Back in 2010 there was a jerry who responded to it. He refers to his aunt that has information about the Haas family. He is my sisters nephew from her Husbands side. The aunt he referred to was my sister that just passed away. He has an aunt from his mothers side that married a brother of Mary Bierman. This Jerry is the guy that I found some info from. Did you ever respond to either Jerry or my sister Elizabeth Hessell Malburg. Also there is someone who posted something on your site after me referring to me as Albert D, Hessell. I do not understand this very good as to read it, but who would this be. My name is Albert C Hessell. When Jerry had posted on your website he had referred to the ship as the Florence. Reply to me on my reg e-mail. After I talked to you today, I started thinking because I had always taught the Maria Haas that died on the ship was Johanna' mother also. We have always shown Johanna's father as Nok! oli Haas and her mother as Maria Haas, which then would be correct. However on Dortheas deadth certificate it is referred to her parents as Englebert Haas and Johanna Ferrtnz or something like that. It looked like that info was given by Bernard Bierman, which would of been a step son of Mary Bierman. He was not a blood relative at all, so he may had wrong information.
