Re: Haas family of Auburn NY

You might try geneanet.org.It's a German site, but you can use English.If you find English speakers using "HaaB, they are using the "B" for a German letter we don't have: ß, the Greek beta, which indicates a sharp "s" sound.My mother's family was Haaß in Germany, but became Haas in America.Others Haas families were Haas in Germany, while Haaß may have become Haass, Haasz or even Hawes.Our Haas family came from Habitizheim and were Hessian, not Schwabish, as your family apparently was.
