I have traced my family history back to Abraham Klassen, 1722-1788 in Moesland, Dirschau, West Prussia. His wife was Katharina Dyck 1724-1779. His son, Johann, was my descendent.

Does anybody have any information about this family that goes back beyond what I have?

Hi Lori,
Please read what I just wrote:

I just stumbled accros this tread as I was searching for my doughters website ( she is 14 and I need to watch here ;-) ).
I do not know if we are of same decendants but one thing for sure if you read this tread and read the old names allot of them are German. The religion ( Menonite ) also seems to be common. I have a ( copy ) of a book that has been handed down to the eldest son( I am the jungest this is why I only have a copy, my older brother has the original ) in this book the eldest son always wrote what happened in his life in started in the 16th century. The Klassen name commes from Holland the reason why they moved to Germany was that in 1515 ( under Karls 5 ) to 1555 they chased all none catholics from Holland. One person of the Klaassen fammily actually wrote a book about the Klaassen familly ( very limited qty ).
I am soory to say that it is written in German.

hope this helps you.

Rgds,

Ralf


Lori,

are you sure Abraham was born 10 1722 ?? in book I have that he was born in 1713, But maybe he is not the same was he the brother of :

Peter, Helene, Agnete, Isbrand, Hans, Jacob, Class, and Catrina ?

To help your research please note that during this time period they wrote the fammily name " claassen " the priest still wrote " Claassen" and after they changed to "Klaassen"
Hope this helps you.

Rgds

Ralf
