Sheboygan Wisconsin Cla(a)ssens apparently from Schlesing-Holstein
Here's hoping someone can connect with this elusive family! Apparently they came to the US around 1868, half settling in Wisconsin, half in South Carolina....and some winding up in Chicago, IL. The name on the records from back in the day is spelled "Claassen." By the time I came around, we were "Classen." I hope this rudimentary little tree posts properly so that you can understand it....and connect with it! I have more information on the persons mentioned, and later generations, but would love to share with anyone who can make that elusive connection!
Thanks!
