I posted the original message and started this Board. Can you tell me the background of the surname "Tosch"? I have not a clue of its background, other than German.
Thanks,
Mike Tosch Thousand Oaks, CA (but our Tosch's were from the Detroit, Michigan area)

Oops, my mistake, I did not start this Board. I was thinking of another website.
I apologize.

I believe you may be Kashube. I am also searching for Tosch members in Detroit. One Joseph Tosch attended my great great aunt, Agnes Kreft Alandt's funeral years ago. He listed his address as 22419 Socia, Detroit, MI. There is also a family wedding photo taken in the mid 1950's of Agnes's daughter, Carolyn Alandt, marrying Andrew Mack. One of her maids was Lizzie Tosch. The Tosch family is supposed to be related to either Agnes Kreft Alandt's mother's side (Czapp) or her father, John Kreft's side. This would mean it was a femal who married a Tosch. Our family has resided on Springwells, Findley, Palmer Woods, the east side, etc. The clan is basically polish-kashube. The Kreft family is from Danzig, Germany.
I did find one Joseph Tosch who was born 3/25/1901 and died 12/1976 in St. Clair Shores. This is about right as the family later in life moved that way. I think there's a good chance we may be related as I've found no other's in Detroit.

Alma Tosch Duffy Kassing was my father's aunt on his mother's side - he was Roger Michael Cavanaugh son of Michael Joseph Cavanaugh and Louise A. Tosch. He was orphaned at the age of 12 and was taken in by his father's sister and her husband (Frank & Marge Daly)
Aunt Alma was the daughter of Gustave Tosch and Amelia Emily Granseen (sp??). She married Wm P Duffy first and had four children that I am aware of: Virginia (Keller), William, Edwin and Howard. I would love to know more about this side of my ancestry.
