One great add on for FF  is 'Any Color' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6991

It allows you to change Firefox to Any Color and create your own personalized theme.

Europe / Re: GERMANY: Baker - from Nassau, Germany

Hi Cathy,

I have been researching my family tree, and  have found my 2x great grandfather Johann Lassman  came over from Nassau, Germany aged 17, and was a profesional musican with 'The Rhine Band'.

He & his fellow musicians resided at  28 Cumberlain Place,  Brighton in the 1861 Census and in 1872 he got married and stayed in England.

I am trying to trace information about The Rhine Band, & also Johan Lassman, as I know the  band performed in Worthing bandstand and Brigton in the 1860's.

Also I have traced a local book about Worthing, 'A Town's Pride: Victorian Lifeboatmen & their Community' by Rob Blann. and there are  several references to the Rhine Band.

I will be buying a copy this week, & would be happy  to share any info or photos with you , as I am trying to find any  photo's of the band myself.

Wahoooo!!!! Weyhey!!!!

Hi there, Ann!

I have been trying to trace descendents of Phillipp and George for some ten years without success. I have a full Baker tree from Johannes, George and Phillipp, and I am touch with relations (from Johannes) in England, USA and Canada. This Canadian branch has produced a comprehensive 'Baker Book'.

My computer is on the blink so please excuse any delays in messaging. I have a new one on order and this should be up and running in a week or so.

Yes, the brothers Johannes (John), Phillipp and George were all musicians in Worthing and also played at the Theatre Royal in Brighton. I'm intrigued to learn that Christian lived with his mother, Renee, in England. Does that mean that Joseph and Renee emigrated with their sons from Germany? I have not been able to find a death certificate for Christian.

I have some photos of the brothers, too, which I can send.

If I can work out how to do it, I shall send you a personal message with my email address.


Rena - many thanks for your support and messages of luck. I may not have tracked the Bakers/Baikers back to Nassau, but it looks as though I have found some 3rd cousins!

Best wishes,
Cathy
