By chance, have you found any link to the Gaasch family of Bettembourg, Luxembourg?

Briefly, John Peter Gaasch was born 1866 in Bettembourg; died 1953 in Iona, Minnesota; was one of six siblings who emigrated from Luxembourg to Minnesota.
Their father, Peter Gaasch, was born 1819 in Bettembourg.
His father, Willibrord Gaasch, was born 1785 in Huncherange.
His father, Michel Gaasch, was born 1748 in Burange.
His father, Carolus Gaasch, was born 1716; was a son of Petrus Gaasch of Livange. At Livange, the family was also identified by the surnames Müller and Schirmes or Schumesch. Thank you for your attention.

Hi,

I just stumbled onto your message while I was doing a Gaasch search. I was just curious if you happened to get any response about the Gaaschs from Luxemburg. Do you by chance know the names of the siblings that came from Luxemburg?

I have corresponded with Thierry Dormoy, who posted the original query on this board. Sorry to say, we haven't found common ancestors yet. However, Thierry connected me with another French researcher who has Gaasch blood through a distant ancestor. Our families come together in the mid-1700s.

In my family, six siblings emigrated from Bettembourg, Luxembourg, to Minnesota. Franz Gaasch arrived in 1881 and lived in Winona, Sleepy Eye and then Morton, Minnesota. He was joined in Morton by John Peter Gaasch in 1887. "Pete" visited Luxembourg in 1899 and returned with the remainder of the family: Anna, John, Margaret and Mary Ann.
Franz married Mary Ann Clancy; they have living descendants.
John Peter married Mary O'Toole; they have living descendants.
Anna and John did not marry.
Margaret married Albert Kumro; they had no children.
Mary Ann or "Jenny" married Gus Miller; they have living descendants.

The Gaasch men were wagonmakers in Luxembourg. In America they adapted as carpenters and lumber yard managers. Descendants are scattered, but a core of us still live in Minnesota. Feel free to contact me directly for more data.

Surnames: GAASCH, KUMRO, BUERY, KAUFMAN
Joe - I have a family connection to the KUMRO family who lived in Birch Cooley Twp., Renville county, MN. My gg-grandfather, J. George BUERY, married Salomé KAUFMAN (KAUFMANN, COFFMAN, etc.). Salomé was a sister of Maria KAUFMAN who was married to John KUMRO and were the parents of Albert KUMRO who married Margaret GAASCH. I know Salomé and Maria were from the Alsace region of France, but that's all I know. Do you have any more information on their ancestors?
