This is a copy of the note I received from Tom,.... He is a member of our list and may be contacted through it. Thanks, Don Sasser %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Hello Don, I must apologize for my late reply to yours. Holidays and other distractions interrupt research & correspondence. Since your message I've received e-mail from Donald K. Tilliston. In that message he gave the origins of Sasser in Germany (Palatinate). He credits you as the source of this story. The whole story was somewhat difficult to read and print as he did not use word wrap in some parts. However, it is interesting to note that Sasser originates in Germany and/or France. I am interested in joining your discussion group as I've only documented back to John SASSER, born ca 1830, in GA. His son, George Washington SASSER, born 1858, FL, died 1936, GA, was my great grandfather. Many Thanks Tom Hudson
