My Grandmother, Genevieve Brennan Haas'(1892-1969), genealogy:

My Grandfather, John Edward Haas' (1878-1965), genealogy:
John Haas Sr. came to America from Wurttemburg Germany around 1881. John brought with him his wife, Elizabeth Ludy Haas, and his two children, John Edward and Hanna G. Haas. The family lived briefly in Baltimore, where John Edward was baptized on March 30, 1890 at the Church of the XIV Holy Martyrs.
John was introduced to his future wife (Genevieve Brennan) by a couple named Zane. Mr. Zane worked with John at a shoe factory in Philadelphia.
