This is from Ken Haas (Hass). Ken would like to know if anyone can add to or correct any of the following information. He also notes that Holstein was part of Denmark until 1864.
Generation No. 1
1. JOHN (OR JOHANNES)1 HASS was born in Germany, probably Holstein (then Denmark), and died Abt. 1890 in Probably Clinton, IA. He married ANNA TROE 1856 in Germany or Denmark. Anna was born 08 Nov 1837 in Germany or Denmark. She died 28 Aug 1921 at Lake Park, Dickinson Co., IA and is buried there. Neither parents of John nor Anna are known.
Most of these children lived at Clinton, IA before 1900 and in Dickinson Co., IA after that. Henry moved to O'Brien Co., IA and Ernest later moved to Texas.

Henry was born in Holstein, Germany and moved to Altona, Germany when he was age eight (ca 1866).
