I am seeking information on Charles and Maria Ioas. Both emigrated from Germany in 1880. I am hunting for information on their German roots. Charles was born in Munich as Karl Joas (changed his name several years after arriving in US). Maria was born Maria Bertha Reiser in Passau Germany. Her parents were Daniel and Rosa Reiser in the same city. Maria had a twin sister Ottilie Reiser, but have no idea what her married name was. She remained in Germnay.
Charles and Maria Ioas had 12 children in this country and lived at first in Kansas and later in the Chicago area.
