When James Casper became hooked on learning who his great grandfather really was, he realized he could only do so much with online genealogy records, books, and microfiche in Minnesota libraries.

He would have to travel to Europe to make sense of it all.

Standing at his, great-great grandfather’s grave, he never expected to meet his third cousin, Gerlinde Jaeger Kasper, alive and well in Grafenhausen, but that happened on the same day.

Follow along to find out who left Germany (and other countries) to become the Casper family in North America. There’s room to add current generations and more research to be done.

Three Hundred Years in the Life of a Family and Through the War and out the Other Side are not your standard compilation of genealogical charts. Filled with gutsy and harrowing stories of pioneer Kaspers, you will get to know and care about these people.

The author would be thrilled if someone would pick it up from here and continue the story.
