I too am a newby in Genealogy. My father was Elmer Louis Kaselitz, son of Hugo F. Kaselitz and Bertha Louise KLAAS.
Bertha was born (as far as my recards show) in Port Huron, Michigan. Her mother was Emilie Hulda Recknagel who was born in Przewosch West Prussia (Preussen) and her father was Carl Rudolph KLAAS who was born in Lappin, Germany.
The father of Carl Klaas was Fredrick Klaas who was born in Germany (have no other information). I have the names of the brothers and sisters of my grandmother, Bertha (nee Klaas) Kaselitz.
I am also looking for something on the Kaselitz family from Germany. I've been doing this about a year and haven't found much. Any assistance would be wonderful!!
