Welcome to the Kresslein _ Walsh Family Home Page! My name is Robert (Bob) Kresslein. My father's family are descendants of Johann Franz (John Francis) Kresslein who emigrated to Baltimore in the 1880's from Alznau, Upper Franconia, Germany. He was the head brewmaster for monumental Brewery in Highlandtown, Baltimore County (then) Maryland, where he married Mary Thanner, an emigrant from Regensburg, Germany. The family appears to be the only one with the same surname in the US.I have been able to put togther a rather extensive generational line for Johann's siblings and cousins in Germany, but not their descendants.My father's mother, Matilda Hausmann is the daughter of John Henry Hausmann and Anna Cross. My mother's family are descendants of Matthew Walsh who emigrated from Ballindud, County Waterford, Ireland and Lessie (Giggi) Breckenridge whose family is from Meridian, MS. I have good information from a recent trip to Ireland on the Walshes. Cousins include Colllins, Ryan and Walker.
