MemoMemo: [A note from the Wassmann Family Tree on Ancestry.com]

My name is Larry Martus Wassmann, Heinrich would be my great, great grandfather. If you are working this same line as I have for years, here are some of the odd things I have found about this person and immediate family back in Lake County Indiana and Will County Illinois in the 1850-1920 time frame.

First Henry (Heinrich) Wassmann came to Indiana from Germany with his first wife Doretta. There are many variations of her name as well but I have settled on this spelling for now. They arrived in New York in 1851 and migrated to Indiana. Please note in doing research that Lake County Indiana and Will County Illinois are next to each other just across state lines.

The family was very active in the St. John’s Evangelical Lateran Church in Beecher Will County Illinois. Much of the events of their lives can be traced by going to the records of this church. Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths are recorded there. Many of the family are buried there as best I can determine but as of yet I have not seen a gravestone for anyone in the family is supposed to be buried there. There is another Lutheran Church in the Beecher area named St. Paul’s. It was formed from members of St’ John’s. And yet another church formed from the same group of German immigrants after that in Sollitt Zion Church near Grant Park in Kankakee County Illinois and another daughter church of St. John’s called the Zion United Church of Christ in Dyer, Indiana . There are Wassmann relatives listed as buried in all of the graveyards adjacent to these churches and the church records record family life events, so go there to find great information on the family and extended family.

Here are some of the ODD things I have found and would welcome correction or clarification from anyone who has better data. But I have more than one source for what I have found so if you have other information which I would welcome, I would appreciate the source of your information so I can cross check it.

The family used the name Wassmann and Wassman and even Wassemann. Maybe the census takers miss understood or miss wrote, I do not know but I have found the same family members with the same dates of birth listed as any, and all of these last names at times. There was another large Wassmann family living there at the same time and in fact the name of the head of the family was also Heinrich. But the wife was Sophie Meier. Their children had many of the same first names, which was not uncommon, but it does cause a lot of confusion. The dates of births of these Wassmann’s are a little older and it looks like they came to America a few years before my line did. For a time I had these folks intermixed but the relatives of this Wassmann line have assured me that in fact as strange as it seems there were two major Heinrich Wassmann families in the area at the same time. They must have been related as they both came from Germany at relatively the same time.

Here is one thing that I find very odd. I may have some of the facts wrong but to the best of my ability this is what I have. Doretta Wassmann died in 1872. This fact is recorded in the St. John’s church records. Henry apparently married Anna Kappermann that same year, in fact just a few months apart. I have a copy of a marriage certificate for a Henry Wassman and Anna Kappermann filed in Cook County Illinois in 1872. Note that the name has one “n” . The church records at St. John’s lists their marriage at the same dates but the names have two “ns”. I guess not uncommon. But how could the marriage take place so quickly? Hanky-Panky???? To make matters even worse, there was a Henry Wassmann born in 1872 to them????? But in the baptismal records at the Zion United Church in Dyer there is a Anna Kappermann as mother of a Heinrich (Henry) baptized that was born on Nov. 15, 1871 and she does not list the father’s name. Apparently he was born out of wedlock but who was the father? Could have been my gg grandfather or maybe someone else and my gg grandfather adopted him????? More questions to be answered. Now I know dates can get messed up but I have big questions on my part.

I have found the listing for all the family in the Hanover Township, Lake County Indiana census of 1880 but the name is listed as Wassemann. Note the random e in the name. Many of the children of Henry and Anna, who is sometimes listed as Annie, are buried in the graveyard at St. Paul’s church in Beecher. Other events and other census data has their names correct but it is very confusing. My great grandfather Henry C. Wassmann who was born of Doretta in 1858 is listed along with this other Henry born in 1872 to Anna. My grandfather’s name was also Henry Wassmann. He was born in 1893. Are you confused? My grandfather would then be Henry the 3rd. I have death certificates on these folks and they list their fathers. So I am confident of the linkage of the Henry’s, but some of the details get me very confused. If you have any information on any of these people please contact me.2
