Having problems with message search?
dear cousins & friends,
guess you know that I'm still looking for my great grandfather Carl Sassmannshausen, b. 09 June 1835 in Hilchenbach/Germany. In former times I only had the info that he died somewhere in Texas (probably in Salado after 1875/80)
Last week I got a very interesting document from the registry office in Hilchenbach dealing with my lost great grandfather Carl/Karl S. - I asked the registry office a few years ago but the registry officer denied the existence of the old document....
It is the notice of intended marriage of my grandparents Wilhelm Sassmannshausen and Maria Margareth Mueller in Nov./Dec. 1888.
transcription:
"Nach der bei den Acten des Kgl. Amtsgerichts hiers. beruhenden und eingesehenen von //
dem Kaiserl. Deutschen Consulat in Galveston (i. Texas) [.... ?] SterbeUrkunde ist //
der Karl Saßmannshausen am 11(?) April 1884 in Salado (i. Texas) gestorben"
dem Kaiserl. Deutschen Consulat in Galveston (i. Texas) [.... ?] SterbeUrkunde ist //
der Karl Saßmannshausen am 11(?) April 1884 in Salado (i. Texas) gestorben"
free translation:
the folders of the courthouse in Hilchenbach have a death record (document) edited by the german consulate in Galveston/Texas which points out that Karl Sassmannshausen died on 11 April 1884 in Salado/Tx.
Any help is gratefully appreciated - If you are interested in a scan of the document please let me know.
best wishes from the german end
Andreas
