I have to find more information about JACOB STRAUSS, born on 12/10/1804, in Weltersbach, and emigrated to Brazil in 1826, from Bremen with the ship Creole. More data on http://br.geocities.com/leandro.strauss Below, messages related to the subject, taken from this discussion group. Thank you, -- Leandro Strauss Blog: http://leandrostrauss.blogspot.com/ Fotos: http://picasaweb.google.com.br/helenastrauss Hello Fellow Listoers Wondering if any of you have a connection with: Johannes Strauss, b 1758 and his wife, Elisabetha Katherina Mueller. (They were the parents of Heinrich, b 1810 in Weltersbach. who married Maria Philippina Schroer, daughter of Johann Schroer and Katharina Hammel from Katzenbach) Johannes Strauss' father was Johann Nickel Strauss, b in Rehweiler and was the first of the Strauss name in Weltersbach. His wife was Elisabetha Margaretha Pfeiffer of Weltersbach. Thank you, Ruth Strausz Curtis I hope that the Johann Strauss Nickel is father or grandfather of Johann Jacob (or only Jacob) Strauss, born in 1804 in Weltersbach. Reportedly a descendant of Johann Nickel with name Jacob? Jacob migrated to Brazil in 1826. >From where you have this information that he is the first in Weltersbach Strauss? It is very important to me. In my family tree is Anna Maria Pfeiffer, born in 1773 in Niedermohr, married with Johann Nicolas Blauth, born in 1772 in Weltersbach. Some connection with Elisabeth Margaretha Pfeiffer? It could take a look at the site and see http://br.geocities.com/leandro.strauss is some connection. There are all data from the Jacob Strauss. Thank you can add any data. Thanks, Deborah, I also have an ancestor named Jacob Strauss, born in 1804 in Weltersbach. Migrated to Brazil in 1826. Any connection is? You have something to help me.
