Tracy: I think we may have a connection here. Yes, Tuscola is in Douglas Co, IL. I have Claus Blaase, married to Catharina (Katrina) Hendrich. He was b. 1835 in Konigsbach, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany (then part of Denmark). They had at least three children, the first known child being Dorothea "Dora" Blaase, b. 1878. Claus was my wife's Greatgrand father. Please contact me direct via e-mail if you are interested in learning more..... Gene (
