Raass
The Raass family has always seemed so tragic to me as they had quite a few deaths in a very short time. They family immigrated from Austria, Joseph arriving first in 1849. Anna arrived later with their 4 children. Their daughter Wilhelmina (Mina) married August Schulte who was a German immigrant and arrived in the United States as a young child. (I intend to add more information here with documents, etc.)

my name is etina rose hingano my surname is Hafoka. I am the daughter of Taniela Otukolo Hafoka child number either 19 or 20 of Tevita Hafokame’e and Edna Rose Raass. Edna R. Raass is the oldest of the 9 children of Albert Henry Raass and Loseli Fangapulotu from one of the surrounding islands of vava’u in Tonga…. He came to tonga on Peace corps. or something like that..
and Siale (charles Raass) was not only the oldest of the boys was the oldest of all the children of Albert and Loseli……. so there was Albert, Edna, Henry, Maybel, Josephine, Louisa, John, lile or lilly and a son named Lolo……

Lisa says:
You will want to do further research…. we are a different Raass family. At this time I am unable to find any correlation between our families. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist… it just hasn’t been found yet. 🙂
Mounga says:
Lol yeah we are related. Hahaha cause my great grandmother mepos parents.were henry and loseli. My grandpa is Peni Raass Holakeituai Which Is The Son Of Takai And Mepo
Lisa says:
Hello! I have seen your family’s names while researching, but they still do not fit into my Raass tree as of yet. My Henry married Elisabeth Degenfelder who died in 1880, and he died in 1894, never leaving the Detroit area.
