My grandfather was Samuel Kassel, youngest brother of Maurice Kassell.

Which child of Maurice was your wife's parent?

Perhaps we can exchange information.

How much/what research have you done so far on them? What kind of information are you wanting help finding?

I like starting with census records, but identifying the right couple requires knowing names of children. There are a couple of Maurice/Morris and Lillian in the 1930 census.

Maurice is often also Morris and Moritz, so I searched for Lillian Kassell instead. Surname may have been with one or 2 l's in the records, so I searched footnote.com's 1930 census for:

lil* kassel*

at http://www.footnote.com/documents/60505077/census_us_federal...

Best hit seems to be this family, is it them? This Lillian was a lot younger than her husband:

... New York » KINGS » BROOKLYN
BOROUGH » 24-890 » Sheet 4B

Kassell, Lillian (b: 1894*)
Kassell, Maurice (b: 1885*)
children Bernard, Jack and Gloria

You also may want to hunt http://fultonhistory,com for free newspaper articles about the family.

If you have a public library card in the US, you should be able to look for the 1920 and earlier censuses for them for free online from home. You can also hunt for them before their marriage as well in 1910 and Lillian earlier if she immigrated before the 1900 census or was born here.

more ideas about places to start searching and also info about library access is on my beginners resources page at:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/...

Did you hunt the New York Times for articles and obituaries? That and other obit sources are available on library sites as well for free.

Re: Need Letter translations

Hi,

There is a good translation service in Lithuania provided by Litinterp http://www.litinterp.com/ I have used them before for legal documentation. They can translate and send on to you.

By the way, which area of Lithuania are your relatives from? I'm from the UK, but my wife is Lithuanian and her maiden name is Buteikytė, i.e she is a Bueikis also :)

Kind regards

Re: Louisa Kassel/Cassel ?

nancybreitfeller — 2009-04-20 21:48:03Z

I am also trying to research this family line. Her father's name is Nicholas, brother's name Frederick, mother's name (I believe) is Phillipine. I believe the family emigrated from Alsace about 1840: some census records show that Louisa was born in France (some in Germany), some in New York.

I haven't been able to trace back to Alsace. Have you found anything else?

Need Letter translations

pakman63 — 2009-04-06 17:09:44Z

I am searching for information on my family in Lithuania. I have cousins there who I have written to and asked about our family tree. Many of them do not speak English and hence they answer me in Lithuanian. I cannot translate their letters mainly because of the writing. I would like some help in translating these letters as they come in. Does someone know of a service or an individual that would do this?

Information on my father

pakman63 — 2009-04-06 17:04:52Z

Looking for informatiojn on my father Paul Kaselis(Kassel). He traveled to the USA 3 times in the early 1900s. The third time was in 1929 when he arrived in Ellis Island with my Mom. I am trying to find out when and how he arrived in America and returned to Lithuania the first two times (1911 to 1913 and 1915 to 1928). The first was from Japan to Seattle and not sure how he returned.
THe second time he became a US citizen and americanized his name to Kassel

Kusselewsky, 1870's?

jkassel127 — 2008-02-06 04:29:19Z

My great grandfather came over from the Russia/Lithuania area in the 1870's, as Joseph Kusselewsky. In the 1890's he changed his name to Kassel. In his name-change papers he said some other members of his family had already changed to Kassel. We've never known of other family members. We do know his father's name was Chaim.
Does any other Kassel have the name Kusselewsky (or something like it) in their history?

My grandfather; Gerald Kessell was born in Cornwall, England..around 1905. He had ONE brother, but I don't know his name. This brother had several children, most whom I believe are still living.

Also the parents of Gerald Kessell and his brother ..they would of been born around 1980-1885.
