Looking through the Chicago Tribune for Dasing, a family name with few in the family, I ran across an obit never before seen of rose Schmidt. A person unknown to me. And a last name unknown to me. Obit said she was the sister of Margaret Dasing, my greatgtam. Margaret's maiden name was Graber. Knowing her sister allowed me to verify that I had the right family in the german familienbuchen for their VERY small town in Germany. Serendipity Also timing...as this was two days b4 research trip to slc Oh my!!
