Surnames: Tischendorf, Hahn, Rethlefsen, George
I am trying to track ancestry of my great grandfather, Oscar Hahn, and his in-laws. Oscar's parents were George Hahn and Clara Amanda Tischendorf. She was born in Saxony in 1843 and died in Friday Harbor, Washington in 1896. I have access to original travel papers when her family left what was then Prussia. I would like to know more about her family.
Oscar married Minnie Rethlefsen in 1892. Her parents were Matthias Paul Rethlefsen and Nellie George. I would like to know more about Nellie Greorge's ancestry. She was born in Samish, WA in 1845 and died in Friday Harbor, Wa in 1902.
Many thanks in advance for anyone who happens upon this thread and can provide information.
