I have an August Fraas that married Sophia Shoner (my great aunt). They lived in Archbold, Ohio. I have their death certifcates, if interested could send copies. Are you connected to him ??? I would like to find where they came from. I know somewhere in Germany, but, that's all I know. On August's death certificate is states that he came from Wiessdorf, Germany. I wonder if he was in the group that came with my great grand-father George Shoner?????????

Yes, I am interested in the death certificates of August Fraas and his wife Sophia (Shoner) Fraas. August Fraas was a tinsmith in Archbold, OH. His son, Henry Fraas (1888-1970) was my grandfather. Henry Fraas was a plumber/tinsmith. His son, Edward Fraas (1915-1980) was my father. His was a plumber and heating contractor. August Fraas, Henry Fraas and Edward Fraas lived in Archbold, OH and all lived on Ditto Street.

My husband's father was Edward Fraas, born in 1881, died in 1950. He was born in Columbus, Ohio. Had a brother Robert and a sister Lulu. Have traced family back to Hesse, Germany, but that is as far as I have gotten. There used to be a Henry Fraas living in Worthington, Ohio, but don't know of an relationship. Could there be any connection.

Hi Jeanne, Would you please contact me with your husband's line!! I am very interested to see if there is a connection. Augustus Fraas married my great grandfather's sister Sophia Shoner. I have not been able to find where the Shoner's came from in Germany. I wonder if the Frasses and Shoners came from the same area??
Thanks, Georgia Pirtle :-)

I sincerely apologize for taking so long to answer your request. I am elderly and don't know much about the computer yet. We really know very little about the Fraas line. My husband's grgrandfather was John Fraas,b.3/30/l819in Hessen, Ger., d.5/1/1898 in Cols., O. Hi son, Edward C.b/2/14/1857 in Cols., O.,d.12/29/43 Washington Court House, O., His son Edward G. Fraas,b.8/12/1880 in Cols., O.,d.3/15/1950 In Los Angeles, CA. Hi son Edwin R.. (my husband) b.5/2/1919 St. Louis, Mo. This is about all we know. Would love to know more and find a connection. We know Eddie Rickenbacher was a cousin - how related don't know. Again I apologize.

Amy,
My Great Great Great Grandparents were Johann
Fraas and Catherine Hohmann. They came from Bavaria,
Germany in 1858 and settled in Rodenberg, IL. I am
hoping they are the Illinois Fraas connection you are
looking for. If they are you can contact me at
bweichmann@msn.com. I have more family information
as well as some pictures. Good luck in you searches.
