Randolph,
Hello. I hope that you are still active on this site and will get my reply. I am also researching the Gaa surname. My family settled in Ohio first and then moved to Illinois. I went to Hockenheim a few years ago and did some research and met a distant cousin, Hans Gaa. He also mentioned that the family originally came from Scotland. I would be very interested in hearing more about the Scottish link. My mother and I are going to Scotland in May for holiday and I would like to do a little research on the family tree while there. Can you tell me any information that you have on the Gaa family in Scotland (where in Scotland, etc?) Also, what are the Gaa sands that you referenced in your posting? My email is
bkreitler@hotmail.com. Hope to hear back from you. Thanks!! Bob
