My grandfather was Weert Asche, & my grandmother was Leona Rasmussen Asche Sheets, born 9/29/1917 (she married Glen Sheets in 1941, I believe). Glen Sheets died in 1985; Leona Sheets died on 12/1/2008 at the age of 91.

I have an uncle named John Asche & an aunt named Martha Asche Van Antwerp. My mother's name is Norma Ann Asche Craft, & she was born in Custer, SD, on 9/28/1940. She married my father, Ross Cecil Craft, in Hot Springs, SD on 6/3/1958. Ross (nicknamed "Butch") was born 2/23/1938 and died 7/23/1994.

Weert Asche was nicknamed "Slim," and he had a brother named Martin Asche, who would be my great-uncle; I have, however, lost track of him. The last I heard, Martin Asche was living in Florida.

Martha Asche Van Antwerp has 2 children, John Asche has 4 children.

Norma Asche Craft has 4 children: Ralph Allen Craft, b. 2/11/1959; Deborah Lynn Craft-Marks, b. 4/17/1960; Ronald Joseph Craft, b. 1/9/1962; Rosalie Ann Craft-Andersen, b. 11/25/1963.

One final note: I think Ludwig Asche was the name of Weert's father. I don't know the name of Ludwig's wife, but I do know she was Polish, not German like Ludwig.

I hope this info helps.
