Re: Lassens of Atlantic, Iowa

David: My Lassen grandfather, Severt, came to U.S. in 1891 with brother Henry. They came to Jackson Co., IA.I don't know that this could be somehow a related family but I wanted to let you know that we just recently determined their place of origin in Germany.The town was Meggerdorf in Schleswig-Hostein.We found the passenger list on the Hamburg Passenger site on the Internet.So if you are looking for a place with the Lassen name that is one town to try.I don't think there are that many Lassens -- it is not a large group -- what do you think?
