Message Board Post:
I am attempting to trace the ancestry of my wife's great grandfather, Augustus Zahn
(1824-1895), who immigrated from Kurhessen (Hesse Kassel) around 1850 to northern New York
(Lewis County) to work on the Erie Canal, wound up marrying the widow of his former boss
and becoming a substantial farmer.
Do the Zahns of Hockenheim usw. have ties to the various families of Zahns in Hesse
Kassel? If so, to which families? Augustus was a Protestant--but I'm not sure of the
version of Protestant before he immigrated.
Thanks in advance for any information ce you can provide.
