I was born in Angleton, TX (Brazoria County) to -father- Robert Lee Dahse (born- Houston TX,- Harris Co.) & mother-Eddie Ann Strickland (born -Springfield, Missouri). Robert's siblings are -William Leroy Dahse, Jr. -resides West Columbia, TX,(married 2 times- 1st wife- Stephanie Waldren & 2nd wife - Janet Swafford- no children by either), John Edward Dahse (married Bette ? had (2) sons named John Edward Dahse & Jefferey Dahse) John married Ginger Vandergrifft & they have (3) children -Brittany, Rebecca, & son??-all reside in Freeport, TX. Robert's only sister,Laura Ella Dahse (maiden) -(has son Shawn McQuery by Ronnie McQeury)-resides Freeport, TX, James Kerry Dahse -resides Freeport, TX, and Walter Dwayne Dahse - resides Dallas (area). Robert's father was Leroy William Dahse, Sr. lived & died in La Porte, TX. Robert's mother was Jessie Mae Hardee (maiden) not sure where born but believe in Jewett or Buffalo, TX. Robert's father, Leroy's father & I believe step-mother lived in Bellville, TX. They were of German descent. Leroy had a cousin named Nelson Dahse (married to Delores)who lived in Baytown, TX. Nelson had (2) daughters and a son. One daughter I know was named Cindy & the son was Nelson,Jr. A cousin named Dennis Dahse taught school in Rosenburg, TX around 1977-78. There are alot of Dahses in Brazoria County & are all kin. I understand there are quite a few in Harris, Colorado, and Austin Counties. I have been wondering about the Dahses and have only been able to trace them back as far as Texas. I understand of German descent but when, how and where did they originally land in Texas? Please e-mail me back if you have info. Thank you, Becky
