From: KOSKIDUST@msn.com (MARGARET KOSKI)
To: Lumoto@aol.com

The name was spelled like it sounded when they came to united states, it sounds like mass or maas, maaz but in germany the name was spelled maab the b is a sharfis ss which is spelled "ss" in place of the b is the proper spelling.
So it should be Maass. I looked up usedom in prussia that is east of Anklam and I believe this area is part of Vorpommern have to check further if it is part of the west or east section and might now be in poland. I will check further if you don't have this information. I also have information on the Maass that lived in Thurkow near Teterow in Mecklenburg-Schwerin,Prussia. May family came from Schossow,Demmin,VorPommern,Prussia.
Also the for that area you Have the city of Usedom,?then you the township or land kreiswhich could be anklam or Ueckermunde, then Vor Pommern is the State, and Prussia is the country. hope i helped.

Rootsweb Message Board Post:

From "Pioneer Reminiscenses by T.J. Russell"

This is an excerpt from the Feb.23,1906 Beaumont Journal.
The article was about Sabine Pass.

William Maass settled there in 1849, out at the west end of Broadway, and raised a large family, all of whom have moved away. His wife was Miss Charlotte Gentz. Both are dead. This family moved to this state from Germany in 1845.

Hope this helps.

Re: Our lines cross through Charlotte Gentz who married William Maass. My information on Charlotte was that she was born in Philamine, Germany. Does that match your information? Don't know what you have on other lines but will share. Do you know where the Gentz line came from in Germany?
