Kass Family History

Location:

The last known location of the Kass/Weber family prior to immigration was in Sandweiler, canton of Luxembourg, in Luxembourg. The Kass and Weber families had lived throughout central and east-central Luxembourg. The Kass family tended to be more centrally located near Luxembourg City, in the towns of Bertrange, Strassen, Limpertsberg and Weimerskirch. The Weber family was from Sandweiler, with one side of the earlier generations from Contern, Syren, Weiler-la-Tour, Aspelt and Hellendorf (likely Hellange), and the other side from Lintgen and Fischbach.
