Surnames: Klaas, Evans
I'm looking for info on my grandfathers family. His name is Paul Charles Klaas. His father is Walter Klaas, his mother passed away when he was little, so all I know is her name is Sarah Evans not quite sure on the spelling... and walter's father is Peter Klaas. I know my grandfather was born in Millwaukee, Wisconsin and his father Walter was born in Arcadia, MI (manistee Co.) died April 1972. I have been told he had a brother Leroy( found info. on Leroy b.8/26/1923 d.9/10/1985) and a sister. Can anyone help me or at least tell me how to get started? I would really appreciate it...

"... walter's father is Peter Klaas. I know my grandfather was born in Millwaukee, Wisconsin ..."

Have you collected more Klaas research since your 2004 posting?
There are clippings in Milwaukee's German language newspapers for a wedding anniversary of a Mr & Mrs. Peter Klaas, and death notices for a Peter Klaas follow in 1932. Other Klaas names like Albert, Carl, Christina (née Rubel), Dorothea, Helena (née Marten), Irene, and Joseph and also found in the local resource called "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950).
