Maas and Kuch families, Russia & Germany to USA North Dakota

My Family Tree Maker files now have over 15,000 people. Many dead but also many living. Some of the surnames of my ancestors are Maas, Kuch, Schulz, Kruckenberg, Duerr, Bauer, Kalmbach, Bahnmuller, Geist, Schlaps, Stegg, Nauenburg, Gohring, Weber, Drews, Stege, Henning, Maier, Heth, & Habelmann. Also have information on my wife's Norweigen ancestors such as Haavig, Kolle,& Heier. Relatives in Mercer & Oliver Counties, ND and other areas of ND and SD were closely related in many cases. Will share with anyone via email and also regular mail with costs shared. Click on the Trees below to see the relationships. These descendant outlines do not have statistics of living relatives. If you are a living relative or interested genealogist and want more detailed information and if you use email, send me a message and I will forward the information to you and will expect reciprocal information. Additional photos have been added August of 2005.
Thanks, Dennis Maas
