The family of Samuel & Karoline (née Seckel) GASSENHEIMER is another branch of the Gassenheimer family of Bibra. No members of this branch lived in Themar as far as we know, but they connected with the Themar family through the sponsorship of Ruth Gassenheimer, daughter of Georg and Selma (née Schwab) Gassenheimer, members of the Samuel & Charlotte Gassenheimer family of Themar. For this story, see: “Who was cousin: Leo Gassenheimer?”.
Normally, the Descendants Lists on this site are compiled with significant input from family members, but in this case there has been no contact as yet. Wherever a direct (and free) internet link to the source of information is possible, the link is included; other sources are listed at the bottom.
