Re: Naas or Naass Surname

Carolyn_Naas — 2013-03-02 17:11:05Z

I am trying to help someone locate an ancestor from Indiana--Gertrude Naas (not related to my husband's Naas family). Gertrude was born between 1848-1850 according to census records, one showing birth France, the other shows Indiana. She married Felix Janz 1868 and they lived in Evansville. There is an online text-only death record for a Gertrude Janz 21 February 1886 Evansville, age 25, though her age is 10 years too young--perhaps a mistake in transcribing the original record. Felix Janz died in Evansville in 1891. A family tree at ancestry.com has Gertrude Naas baptized April 1848 at St. Wendel, Posey Co., IN, with death 1885, parents Frederick Naas and Magdalena Weiss. Have you come across this Gertrude? Thanks.

Hello Pete,

I recognize your grandfather Frederick as my Grandfather Earl Otto's brother whose parents where Heinrich (Harry) Naas and Emma Giertz. I have found Heinrichs father to be John F. Naas and mother to be Catherine Kopp. I have found Emma's parents to be Frederick Giertz and Minnie Kopp (strangely). must have been lots of Kopps, lol. Are these the names you have for Harry and Emma's parents? Do u know for sure that they were immigrants? What city/country did they immigrate from????

Re: from the Norwegian Naas family

jopolitesse1 — 2010-03-27 22:05:40Z

Alison:

My branch of the family comes from Norway, my grandmother tells me Telemark and More og Romsdal (Molde). I know Naas is a fairly rare name in Norway from a friend of mine who worked at the Norwegian national library in Oslo and looked it up in a database, but its presence in Ireland is probably Norse ("Viking") in origin. The origins of the town of Naas in Ireland goes way back to that era.

Who knows? Maybe Norsemen landed there, settled, and named it after themselves, just as many of them did in parts of England (anything with "-by" at the end has Norse or Nordic roots or influence). It probably was a Norse settlement starting from the 9th or 10th century.

I've heard a lot of stories about where the name comes from. One said it was an attempt to describe someone with a sizable nose (the Swedish and Norwegian words for "nose" are similar). Others have told me that it may have named a hill near where the family lived; in other words, it's a name with geographical origins. How do you pronounce yours? We pronounce it "Nås," though many in the family pronounce it "Nass" because they can't be bothered to correct people.

It does make a difference, I think, as the "Nass" pronunciation sounds a lot more like the Swedish "näsa," or "nose," whereas my favored pronunciation, "Nås," is something else.

Let me know if you find out anything!

Re: Nass family from Drangedal, Telemark, Norway

If you are looking for information from BEFORE they emigrated then know that Gunder was born about 1802, Oline about 1819, they left with 5 young children ranging in ages from 13 to about 1 year at the time of their departure.

Drangedal parish records are available online through the Digitalarkivet website or on microfilm through LDS Family History Centers.

My great grandfather was Ezra Ralph Nash (#902). He and his wife emigrated to the United States and changed their name to “Nash.” The family story was that they did this because everyone called them “Nash” and they got tired of it being mispronounced and decided to fight instead of switch!
Here are the missing pieces on our family:

The children of Ralph Naas (he was a custom automobile body builder at the Fisher Body Works) (died 1944) and Della Hirtle (died 1949):

• Richard Taylor Nash born on January 4, 1935. He was an award-winning high school teacher and was inducted into the Michigan Coaches Hall of Fame in 2001. He lives in Troy, MI.

Paul Nash died in 1954.

Harold Ralph Nash, Jr. married Elizabeth Shear
• Harold Ralph Nash III “Randy”
• Regina Elizabeth Nash

Richard Taylor Nash married Joyce Elaine Jansen (born March 6, 1936 in Royal Oak, MI) on August 18, 1956
• Richard Mark Nash, born May 1, 1958 in Detroit, MI. He is an executive for Get Motivated Seminars. He lives in Orlando, FL.
• Robin Michelle Nash, born December 21, 1966 in Pontiac, MI. She is a jewelry maker and homemaker. She lives in Royal Oak, MI.
• Ross Mitchell Nash, born September 22, 1968 in Pontiac, MI. He is a computer engineer and manager. He lives in Tampa, FL.

Richard Mark Nash married Elizabeth Keller (born August 30, 1960 in Oak Ridge, TN) on June 21, 1980. He married Drusilla Randisi (born June 5, 1953 in Queens, NY) on July 31, 1999
• Alexandra Caroline Nash (mother is Elizabeth Keller), born December 28, 1990 in Beech Groove, Indiana.

Robin Michelle Nash married Thomas Daniel Nichols (born on September, 22, 1967) on April 2, 1998

My ancestor Salena "Sarah" Naas was a sister to your Frederick. She married Heinrich Jeude (Henry Yeida). Henry was first married to her older sister Saloma in 1842 in St. Louis. She died shortly after giving birth to a daughter in 1850. In the same year Henry married Salena and had a family. Would love to correspond with you on this line.

My Heitzmann family supposedly came from Baden Germany, but Alsace is close to southern Germany and there is always the possibility!? Thanks for any help you can give me.

TinaSimpkinsCloud27 — 2006-09-25 19:32:20Z

I am looking for info on unknown Haas, married ca 1910/11 in Dayton, OH to Catharine unknown, had children William Haas, born ca 1912, Richard H. born ca 1914, Marie E, ca 1916. Mr Haas died around 1916. By 1918 his widow Catharine Haas was remarried to Christ Fuesler. The draft registration Christ Fuesler filled out in 1918, listed they were living at 1108 Wayne Av, Dayton OH. This Fuesler and Haas, family are in the 1920 census Dayton- ward 9, district 172, with the three Haas children. The youngest daughter Clare is listed as Haas, but burial records show her as Clara Jane Fuesler, age 11 months. In the 1920 and 1930 census the Haas children listed, father was born Germany. I had heard that Mr Haas had been married before he married Catharine unknow, and may have been children by 1st wife. I know that Richard H was the son of Catharine. Thanks for any help on this family. Tina

Carolyn,
Where is Breitenbach? That is the big money question. When I use Mapquest or Google maps they show that Germany has 10 Breitenbachs. My Nasses put Breitenbach on their ship logs as the town they came from. Then on the US Censuses they say they are from H-D. I have found some old maps of H-D from the 1860’s and have compare them with the Breitenbachs of today and see which one falls in the land of H-D in the time frame that they lived there. From all that I believe Breitenbach, H-D is about 20 or 30 miles north east of Frankfort Germany in the mountains west of Fulda.

Re: NAAS family in Germany, Nova Scotia and the US

Joe, I have not come across a Naas family from Breitenbach in our search. Our Naases come from Asselbrunn and Bullau in H-D in 1884-87. Johann Christoph Naas who settled in Nova Scotia in 1752 came from the Palatinate. I have not heard from Rob in some time, but would love to find out more information about when his Naas ancestor came to the USA and what brought him to California. By the way, where is Breitenbach? If by some chance it is in the Alsace area, there is a Naas who came from there who settled in Indiana, or maybe Illinois.

I hope this helps you as I am not sure but it is too coincidental on the names Lena, Mina and William. I am glooking further to try to locate a lot more about Mina all I know is that she was married to a Wm. Nass in 1872 havent gotten any further.Maybe I need to change the name to Naas to locate more.

There was a Naas who settled in Nova Scotia in the middle 1700's, and some of his descendants changed their spelling from Naas to Nass.

Emma Thiede was my great aunt. She must be your grandmother. I would be interested in talking with you concerning the Thiedes. Emma and her parents, Michael & mary Thiede can to America in late 1891 or early 1892, but I can not find anything on the Ellis Island site because I think they came a few months before Ellis Island opened. Also, the 1900 census shows that Mary's parents were living with them, however, we always thought her maiden name was Feltz, but her parent's last name is Schonfeldt. Thanks. Erskine
