I did plenty of searching at the NYS archives and library, but I have very little to show for it. There is no possible marriage record in the index for any couple Laun/ and any name I could think of starting "Sas" (records are soundex). Also no marriage for any Mabel or Louisa Laun to any man. I checked 1907-1917. I tried to trace Anthony and Mabel from the Ozone Park address you had (which seemed like the most recent), but unfortunately all I had available to me in Albany was Queens phone books as the library does not have directories. Throughout the years I spot-checked (1938-1961) there was no Anthony or Mabel Sasser. There were as many as 3 different men named Anthony Sasso, but no other Anthony with a surname starting Sass. With the first name Mabel, there was only a Mrs. Mabel Sasso in Flushing 1959-1961, but her address could not be associated with any of the Anthonys, so no help there. I ran out of time for further searching, but I will look again on my next trip in a couple of weeks. Mary Anne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
