Naas/Nash

ricknash1 — 2008-05-14 00:24:49Z

My great grandfather was Ezra Ralph Nash (#902). He and his wife emigrated to the United States and changed their name to “Nash.” The family story was that they did this because everyone called them “Nash” and they got tired of it being mispronounced and decided to fight instead of switch!
Here are the missing pieces on our family:

The children of Ralph Naas (he was a custom automobile body builder at the Fisher Body Works) (died 1944) and Della Hirtle (died 1949):
• Harold Ralph Nash born in Lynn, Massachusetts on July 2, 1899. He was the Vice President of Underground Operations for Detroit Edison. He lived in Lathrup Village, MI.

Harold Nash married Virginia Lee Sharp (born November 5, 1909 in Newport News, VA) on January 1, 1929. Virginia died on October 14, 1994. Harold died on November 3, 1967.
• Harold Ralph Nash Jr. born on July 14, 1933. He was a handyman. He lives in Lake Wales, FL
• Richard Taylor Nash born on January 4, 1935. He was an award-winning high school teacher and was inducted into the Michigan Coaches Hall of Fame in 2001. He lives in Troy, MI.

Paul Nash died in 1954.

Harold Ralph Nash, Jr. married Elizabeth Shear
• Harold Ralph Nash III “Randy”
• Regina Elizabeth Nash

Richard Taylor Nash married Joyce Elaine Jansen (born March 6, 1936 in Royal Oak, MI) on August 18, 1956
• Richard Mark Nash, born May 1, 1958 in Detroit, MI. He is an executive for Get Motivated Seminars. He lives in Orlando, FL.
• Robin Michelle Nash, born December 21, 1966 in Pontiac, MI. She is a jewelry maker and homemaker. She lives in Royal Oak, MI.
• Ross Mitchell Nash, born September 22, 1968 in Pontiac, MI. He is a computer engineer and manager. He lives in Tampa, FL.

Richard Mark Nash married Elizabeth Keller (born August 30, 1960 in Oak Ridge, TN) on June 21, 1980. He married Drusilla Randisi (born June 5, 1953 in Queens, NY) on July 31, 1999
• Alexandra Caroline Nash (mother is Elizabeth Keller), born December 28, 1990 in Beech Groove, Indiana.

Robin Michelle Nash married Thomas Daniel Nichols (born on September, 22, 1967) on April 2, 1998
• Trinity Jane Nichols born August 4, 2005 in Royal Oak, MI

Ross Mitchell Nash married Twanette Townsend (born Iowa City, IA August 26, 1970) on June 17, 1995

My name is also Elizabeth Naas. I've always been told I was named after a great ancestor of some sort. Oh, and I know that my family lived in Canada until WWI when my grandpa moved to the states to fight in the "War to End All Wars" I'm also looking for this person.

My great grandfathers name was Christ Fuesler. I have quite a bit of information about this family. His sons (my grandfather) grandsons (my father) etc, etc. The Dayton, OH thing and everything matches with what I was told as a child.

Lets talk,

Dave
My ancestor Salena "Sarah" Naas was a sister to your Frederick. She married Heinrich Jeude (Henry Yeida). Henry was first married to her older sister Saloma in 1842 in St. Louis. She died shortly after giving birth to a daughter in 1850. In the same year Henry married Salena and had a family. Would love to correspond with you on this line.

Recently ran across your postings regarding your Naass family name. Do you, by any chance, have information on the Heitzmann name (Marie Salome Heitzmann Naass)? My Heitzmann family supposedly came from Baden Germany, but Alsace is close to southern Germany and there is always the possibility!? Thanks for any help you can give me.

The only information that I have on the Naas in my family tree is as follows:

Johannes Naas born about 1617, he married Anna Maria.

I'm sorry that I could not provide you with more information.

I am stuck on Johannes Naas m. Anna Margaretha Rehnen whom he left in Germany? when he came to the USA. I have his father to be Michael Naas but I believe his name may have been Johannes Michael. Does this sound like there may be a connection?

Haas Family of Dayton, OH

TinaSimpkinsCloud27 — 2006-09-25 19:32:20Z

I am looking for info on unknown Haas, married ca 1910/11 in Dayton, OH to Catharine unknown, had children William Haas, born ca 1912, Richard H. born ca 1914, Marie E, ca 1916. Mr Haas died around 1916. By 1918 his widow Catharine Haas was remarried to Christ Fuesler. The draft registration Christ Fuesler filled out in 1918, listed they were living at 1108 Wayne Av, Dayton OH. This Fuesler and Haas, family are in the 1920 census Dayton- ward 9, district 172, with the three Haas children. The youngest daughter Clare is listed as Haas, but burial records show her as Clara Jane Fuesler, age 11 months. In the 1920 and 1930 census the Haas children listed, father was born Germany. I had heard that Mr Haas had been married before he married Catharine unknow, and may have been children by 1st wife. I know that Richard H was the son of Catharine. Thanks for any help on this family. Tina

Carolyn,
Where is Breitenbach? That is the big money question. When I use Mapquest or Google maps they show that Germany has 10 Breitenbachs. My Nasses put Breitenbach on their ship logs as the town they came from. Then on the US Censuses they say they are from H-D. I have found some old maps of H-D from the 1860’s and have compare them with the Breitenbachs of today and see which one falls in the land of H-D in the time frame that they lived there. From all that I believe Breitenbach, H-D is about 20 or 30 miles north east of Frankfort Germany in the mountains west of Fulda.

Joe, I have not come across a Naas family from Breitenbach in our search. Our Naases come from Asselbrunn and Bullau in H-D in 1884-87. Johann Christoph Naas who settled in Nova Scotia in 1752 came from the Palatinate. I have not heard from Rob in some time, but would love to find out more information about when his Naas ancestor came to the USA and what brought him to California. By the way, where is Breitenbach? If by some chance it is in the Alsace area, there is a Naas who came from there who settled in Indiana, or maybe Illinois.

Re: More Nass genealogy

HI: I am not sure I know that most of them must have moved to Louisiana as Lena and her sisters and brothers look like most of them were born in Louisiana I know that Lena my Great Great Grandmother was married in Louisiana New Orleans and her children were born in Louisiana but according to what I have learned they could have gone to Penn. not sure going to do more research. I hope this helps you as I am not sure but it is too coincidental on the names Lena, Mina and William. I am glooking further to try to locate a lot more about Mina all I know is that she was married to a Wm. Nass in 1872 havent gotten any further.Maybe I need to change the name to Naas to locate more. Thanks for the info and I hope this may help you

Elvina, do you know where your ancestors lived after leaving Prussia? My husband's family came from Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, in the late 1800's and settled in Ohio. There was a Naas who settled in Nova Scotia in the middle 1700's, and some of his descendants changed their spelling from Naas to Nass.

I am looking for a long lost cousin. Maria Theresa Naas was born 13 January 1954 in San Francisco, California. Her father was Earl A. Naas and her mother Marie Reinhard. Her parents divorced shortly after she was born.

What part of California was your grandfather from? What was his first name? Do you know of any other Naas relatives.

My own Naas family has lived in California since 1870.

I recenty moved into a carraige house in East Hampton, CT and in the bathroom is a stained glass window that reads "In Memory of Fanny Naas 1882 - 1938". The carriage house belongs to the Burt family but I haven't had the chance to speak with them about it - the window could have come from anywhere around here. The landlord tends to salvage old things from buildings he buys. Are there any relatives in the CT area that may have know this woman? Just interested. I live on Lake Pocatapaug. Thank you. Cathy

Re: Frederick of Sessenheim

2002-07-29 21:06:21Z

Dear David,
I visited Sessenheim (Alsace, France) on 3 February 2000 and in the village hall I was able to see the birth record of my great-greatgrandfather Frederick Naas. He was born there in November 1818. It was signed by his father (my g g g grandfather Jacob Naas, at that time spelled Naass) I also saw the birth records for Frederick's brother Christian, and sister Salome (called Sally in the US) All records were signed by the registrar and their father. Their mother was Marie Salome Heitzmann Naass. Jacob had other children from his first marriage (she died) and he came to the America and settled in Southern Indiana in 1827. He came here with Frederick (born in 1818), Christian, and Salome and also with the youngest child from his first marriage, Jacob, jr. born in 1815. Some of this information is published in an old book (1905) I found in the Indiana State Library called Memoirs of the Lower Ohio Valley. There were a lot of Naas's who lived in that region of France. So who is your Frederick and what do you know. By the way, my Frederick joined the Union Army in the Civil War and died in 1864 while on active duty in an army hospital in Louisville of pneumonia. He is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, in the civil war section. All the best to you.
