I am looking for the ancestors of Claus Kasch. His tombstone, in the Tannery Cemetery
in Two Rivers Wisconsin, states that he was born 13 April 1822. He died 20 April 1903.
In a declaration of intent to become a United States citizen he stated that he, Henry Kasch, was born in Oldenburg in 1820, that he arrived in the Port of New York in October of 1853. He renounced allegiance to the Duke of Oldenberg. He was of the Lutheran faith. Judging by the things he did in the United States he was an educated man.
Any information you can find will be greatly appreciated.

We have only two Kasch addresses in the former Dukedom of Oldenburg. But there is a Kasch concentration in the State Schleswig Holstein, part Segeberg and Ost-Holstein. (see Geogen Deutschland (Onlinedienst) - christoph.stoepel.net )
This area was former a part of the Dukedom of Oldenburg.
From which port he came over to New York - Bremen is close to Oldenburg and Hamburg close to Schleswig-Holstein.
Good luck,
Werner Honkomp
Thank you for your information. There are several other Kasch families in this area. Those I have checked on have come from the Holstein area. From other things I have seen concerning my maternal great grandfather I think he came from Oldenburg.
Could you give me a village or church records that I could investigate further?
Thanks again for your help. Francis L. Blahnik
