Dear llse Flick
I too would be interested in requesting a lookup please.
The surname is (present spelling) Glasenapp
(prior spellings may have been glasnap, glazenap and such)
Supposedly from the Black Forest Region
Earliest known relative is Karl Frederick Glasenapp who arrived in
Liberville, Wisconsin in approx. the 1840's
Thanks so much
Stacy
