My GGGrrandparents came from Marienthal, Russia and settled in Kansas. I have alot of names but am missing a lot of dates and places. My GGGrandparents were Joseph Gassmann and Anna Catherine Linenberger. They came to America in 1888. Can anyone help me?

Lisa, Guess what? We are related. Joseph Gassmann Anna Catherine Linnenberger were my great-great grandparents. One of their sons was Peter Gassmann who married Agatha Dechant (my great-grandparents). I do have some information, if you would like to get back to me, I'll be checking into this site toward the end of next week. Leave a message to let me know what you might be looking for. I even have a picture of Peter Agatha, that my mother believes was taken shortly after they were married in 1886! Hope to hear from you soon. Michael

Michael, this is great. Peter was my great-great uncle. His brother Konrad was my GGrandfather. My grandparents were John Albina Gassman. I have done a lot of research and have about 350 Gassmann names. I do have guestions regarding your family, would you please e-mail me at home? LisaSoNovel@Juno.com

It would thrill me to make a family connection. Willima F. Gassman came from
Teigenhoff, Germany in approx. 1905-06. He married Johanna Hargot in Michigan, where I was born. He is my grandfather and I know he had several brothers and sisters. Any help would be appreciated.

Joan, Unfortunately, I do not have your grandfather listed in any of my files. Who knows, he could be related, I just may not have enough information. Keep on searching!!

HI, MY NAME IS CHERYL GASSMAN DAWSON. I WAS BORN IN MICHIGAN AS WELL AS MY DAD. MY GRAND FATHER WAS WILLIAM H GASSMAN BN IN 1841. HIS PARENTS WERE FROM BADEN GERMANY. WHERE WAS YOUR FAMILY FROM IN MICHIGAN? WILL HELP ALL I CAN. CHERYL

I am looking for the parents and ancestors of Reuben Gassman b.3/7/1865,d. 5/14/1948. He married Harriet Stapleton in Wisconsin. Any information would be appreciated. I am having considerable trouble finding anything about him. It is possible thaat he had a differnet birth name. Thanks.

I have a copy of an article from the Fox Lake, Dodge Co., WI newspaper dated November 18, 1892, saying that Miss Hattie Stapleton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Stapleton of Fox Lake would be married on Tuesday, Nov. 22, to Mr. R. Gassman of Fifield, WI in St. Mary's Church. His parents were Andre Gassman and Hannah Sornson, but I don't have the source noted. I don't have birth or death dates of Reuben, either. I do know they had two children Sidney and Bernadine.

To Margo Stapleton,
Wow! I have been searching for some time with no results. Reuben Gassman's obituary lists his birthplace as Weyauwega, Wisconsin. However, when I tried to access his birth certificate, they could find no record for that area for him. This has been a challenge. Any suggestions regrding information about Andre and Hannah Sornson?
Thanks for your help!

Lisa,
My grandfather was Alfred Stephen Gassmann b. 2-16-1893 in Columbus, Ohio. His parents were John Godfrey Gassmann b: 5-27-1857 in Columbus, Ohio. and Ellen Cahill.
This is all the info I have except That John G. Gassmann like many other Gassmann's in Ohio loved music and played in the Knights of St. George band. On their marraige certificate, the witnesses were Lawrence and flora Bast. Flora was a Gassmann.I am hoping you can help me because this is all the info I have.
