The original post is by my wife Judith Lauber.
The Cassels of Alsace are on my side of the family.
Do you know any more about Nicholas? In particular a date or at least year of birth. I
have a Johann Nicholaus Cassel whose birth date looks possible. The Johann was often
dropped since almost everyone was named Johann in German speaking areas at one time.
Nicholas and Nicholaus are the same name. Also do you know what he did for a living?
That could also help determine if the match is possible.
I don't have a marriage record or a death date for My Johann Nicholaus Cassel. That
leaves things open for having him marry and go to America. The birth date I have is 22
June 1793 in Volksberg Alsace. That fits with Germany and France depending on what year
you are talking about.
