Subject: Filipowo lookup for GAUS/GANS? Help!
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 11:17:10 EST


I'm now pursuing the slenderest of threads.

Does anyone have any info on Filipowo that might show a Heinrich
GAUS (possibly transcribed as GANS), probably born between 1825 and
1835, or [possibly] his father, Vincenz GAUS?

=======================================

I have these two tidbits from two town books:

From the India townbook:
Heinrich GAUS/GANS son of Vincenz m. Magdalena SCHNEIDER 1857 in
India

From the Franztal/Semlin townbook:
Zusiedler aus der Batschka bzw. auch Syrmien:
Name:Herkunftsort
GAUSS India-Filipowo

I know my gr-grandmother was born in Semlin to Heinrich GAUS and
Maria Magdalena (or Magdalena) SCHNEIDER. I know the SCHNEIDER
family came from India. I had thought the GAUS family was also from
India, but . . .

My riddle: Does the GAUSS entry from the Franztal/Semlin book
indicate maternal/paternal (or husband/wife) birthplaces? Or did the
family come from Filipowo by way of India?
