The Flauss Family Home Page
Updated September 6, 2000I am currently conducting a search to locate my paternal grandfather's place of origin. His name was Emile Haas FLAUSS. He was born July 18, 1909 and died September 14, 1965. From what I can tell, Emile lived most (if not all) of his life in New Orleans, Louisiana. He married Camille Macelin Chaplain (also of New Orleans) June 1, 1938 in New Orleans and had two sons, Robert Frank and Emile Peter. I don't know anything else about his family (if he had any) or their origins, although family lore says they are from Germany. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone may have. I am also searching for information for the SELZER family of New Orleans and the surrounding areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. I have some sketchy information regarding some of this large family, but do not have a strong place from which to track birth and death dates or marriages. Any assistance would be appreciated. The VACHETTA family of the New Orleans area is on my list as well. Although I know that they came from Sicily four generations ago, I do not know from exactly where in Sicily or how it is that they arrived in New Orleans. Family myth has it that the name was actually changed from VAGHETTO (spelling?) upon arrival in this country, but no clear story is available. I am willing to share any information I have. | |
