Purpose of Vassel Family Organization blog

This blog has been created to share genealogy research efforts in the Vassel Family Organization. Several projects are being worked on as of June, 2014:
  • Mary Vassel Hill is updating the Vassel-Elmer database of about 46,500 persons on a daily basis. She is coordinating each person with www.familysearch.org and doing research on persons with incomplete information.
  • Cari Edwards Vassel is building the Edwards-Kessinger-Short database and finding many new connections. She is also coordinating her information with www.familysearch.
  • Mary Vassel Hill has completed a personal history of Dieter Vassel and his wife, Lottie Kipke Vassel. Dieter was Vera Vassel Schlofmann's father and Mary's uncle.
  • Bruno and Cari Vassel were serving in the Jordan River LDS temple presidency in 2011. They are now serving the LDS Church in Frankfurt, Germany and are very busy there.

    This is an exciting concept Marety! I like the ides of making it public - let all our kids have access -- and anyone else googling our ancestral names. When you control the blog, I believe you can delete any posting you feel is not appropriate.

    1. Thank you. Correction: When Léon Alfred Vassel moved to Thuringen, he went not to Langensalza but the Schwarzburg where he and his wife had the "Villa Vassel" hotel and boarding school.
