Notes:

Death Cert of Otto J. Hasse provides name of father and mother:
William Hasse and Elizabeth Swansberger.

The Hasse's from whom Lois' family descended originated in Pomerania (German Pommern), a strongly Protestant, Lutheran province of the German kingdom of Prussia. Parts of Prussia, including eastern Pomerania where my ancestors lived, were given to Poland at the end of World War II.

Lois' forebears in Prussia, disturbed by the increasing militarism of the government headed by Otto von Bismarck, made the decision to quietly emigrate to America in the 1870's and 1880's. By so doing, they doubtlessly saved their sons from the trenches of World War I, and their grandsons from service in Hitler's army during World War II.

Historical Background

The Province of West Prussia (German: Provinz Westpreu?en) was a province of Prussia from 1773 to 1829 and 1878 to 1922.
West Prussia was established as a province of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1773, formed from Royal Prussia of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

West Prussia was dissolved in 1829 and merged with East Prussia to form the Province of Prussia, but was re-established in 1878 when the merger was reversed and became part of the German Empire.

From 1918, West Prussia was a province of the Free State of Prussia within Weimar Germany, already losing most of its territory to the Second Polish Republic.

West Prussia was dissolved in 1922, and its remaining western territory was merged with Posen to form Posen-West Prussia.

After WWII, all the areas of West Prussia were restored to Poland.

Wilhelm married Elisabeth SWANSBERGER about 1834 in Sepolno Krajenskie, West Prussia (Poland). Elisabeth was born about 1819 in Sepolno Krajenskie, West Prussia; died in in Pommerania, German Kingdom of Prussia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
