My great grandmother was Gessine (she pronounced her name Kassina) Bruns, born in Germany October 1862. I found her in the 1880 census livng with her brother John Bruns in Bayonne, New Jersey.She married my great grandfather Heinrich Maack (born abt 1852,left Hamburg in 1868) abt 1883. Two daughters were born in Greenpoint New York and another in Bayonne.By 1891 they were living in Little Rock Arkansas. My grandfather Wilhem was born in 1893. Gessine died in Little Rock in 1908 and Heinrich in 1913. This is the only information I have on my family and desperatly seeking more. Thanks Jo Ellen Maack
