Are Blaess and Blass related?
I'm trying to research the Blaess name. Have any of you come across this spelling in your Blass searches? My ancestors came from the Alsace region of Germany, where the name was spelled with an umlaut over the "e". I'm sure many Blaesses dropped it when they came to America. It's pronounced like "Blass", but most people think it's pronounced like "Blayss." I am convinced Bill Blass, the clothing designer, is related to my family because he looks so much like my late father.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
