Weber 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.

Anne Marie Weber

Anne Marie Weber was born in Sandweiler, Luxemburg, on January 6, 1833. Her parents were Peter Weber and Catherine Barthel. Anne married John (Jacques) Kass in Sandweiler on January 28, 1857. John had been living in the U.S. for several years, when he returned briefly to marry Anne. The couple then set off for the U.S. together. All of their children were born in Iowa and Minnesota. The couple finally settled with their family in Alton, Iowa. Anna lived to be nearly 90 years old, and she is buried in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Alton.


Anne Marie's Parents

Peter Weber and Catherine Barthel

Although many records state "Pierre" Weber, which was common for French-speaking Luxemburg, Anne's father always signed his name as "Peter". Peter was born in Contern, Luxemburg, on March 7, 1806. His parents were Peter Weber and Anna Maria Esper.

Anne Catherine Barthel was born in Sandweiler, Luxemburg, on March 16, 1813. Her parents were Jean Barthel and Susanne Olsem.

The marriage record from Sandweiler, Luxemburg for Peter Weber to Anne Catherine Barthel on January 25, 1832 confirms both the parents of each (Anne Marie's grandparents), as well as their birth location.

The 1843 Luxemburg census for Sandweiler, the first available for Luxemburg, has the following persons living at one residence:

The full family was still together in the 1847 census, with another daughter, Catherine, who was 6 months old. The matriarch, Susanne, was not listed in the 1849, and patriarch, Jean, was missing by the 1852 census.
