A Dr. Gustav Dahms was our family doctor until he retired. Do you have any history for him ?

Re: Dahms/Cassidy connection

julianamulroy — 2012-08-24 15:20:23Z

Correction -- the name of Gustave and Celina Dahms was Patricia Helen BERNARD.

Re: Dahms/Cassidy connection

julianamulroy — 2012-08-24 15:17:39Z

If you are still looking for Dr. Gustave (note spelling) Dahms of the St. Louis area, a daughter died in the Albany, NY area in 2009 -- Patricia H. Shepherd. Obituary mentioning her parents is available on-line. Her mother was a nurse; I have seen the name spelled as Celina and Selina. You can find names and cities of other descendants in the obituary.

I became interested in Dr. Dahms as he did illustrations for some scientific studies of wasp behavior and at least once his observations were published as part of a larger publication.

Seth,
I have forwarded your messages and the photo along to my Uncle. Howard has two surviving brothers. John is the youngestand he will look at the photo and try to confirm which one is Howard. My uncle is very interested in the historical project that you are working on. If you'd like direct contact with my Uncle, please email me with your contact info.

Re: Dahms-Philadelphia PA

setherazmus — 2012-03-29 12:20:40Z

Oh, by the way. About 2 years ago, I was in contact with Howard's commanding officer, Lt. Gilbert E. Lindloff. He has since passed on, but he did provide me several pictures of the tank crew members under his command. Attached to this reply is what is believed to be the last, if not the last picture of some of the men KIA on 10/18/44. I do not know what Howard looked like, but I have labeled many of the other crew men in the picture including Otto Hesselbarth, and George Lopes. Perhaps you'd be able to find Howard?

Re: Dahms-Philadelphia PA

setherazmus — 2012-03-29 12:06:35Z

My grandfather Charles Erazmus, was a crew member in the same tank as Howard. On October 18th, just before the tank left, my grandfather was asked to stay behind and another man went in his place. I have access to several first-hand accounts of what happened that day if anybody is interested in a more extensive story. I'd be interested in knowing more about Howard. I have several pictures of the men of the 710th tank battalion. I'd like to know which one is Howard. If anybody in the family has any WWII pictures, letters home, etc. the they are willing to share I'd be more than happy to take a look. I'm one of several family members, historians, etc trying to put together a very detailed history of the 710th Tank Battalion.

Re: Dahms-Philadelphia PA

dj58smith — 2012-03-29 04:07:49Z

Please see Sanobar Dahms. Our family tree is listed there. Trying to locate pictures of Howard. We do have information regarding the battle that we found on a website. Are you related to the Dahms family? Howard was my father's oldest brother.

If you look on the tree of Sanabor Dahms you will see our family tree. I am trying to find out where in Germany Conrad and Mary where from.
Any leads?

I married a Dahms, the family is from St. Louis area. Henry Dahms left his wife after a few children in the 30s (one being my husbands grandfather, Henry) and we are not able to find anything more, it's like he fell off the earth. Anything would be helpful if it's the same bunch.

Re: Dahms from Tiegenhof, West Prussia

2006-06-20 14:00:45Z

I am researching a Christian Frederick Dahms, 1820, from Prussia who married(1837) a Miss Clinger (1824)and had several children. I am missing the names of two children (possibly Fredrica?).
Most of their children have come to the U.S, including August, my ancestor. I also found a marriage in 1858 in Kentucky for a Christian Dahms, 1820 Prussia, and a Mrs. Minnie Dahms. They had 4 more children. I am thinking perhaps Christian remarried? Can anyone help me make this connection? I can e-mail privately with names of offspring if you think there is a connection.
