I just started working on my family tree. I have very little information so far, but I think my Dressler ancestors from Saxony, Germany may be related to your Dresslers.
Here's what I have:
Hans Otto Dressler- born 3-27-1882 in Dresden, Saxony, Germany.
Like the Dresslers you have mentioned, Hans Otto Dressler also moved from Saxony, Germany to NYC with his brother. The approximate date of their arrival in NYC was 1907.
I have Hans Otto's original Certificate of Alien Registration which is stamped New York, NY. On his registration his name has been altered slightly, from Hans Otto Dressler to John Dressler.
The information I have is that he later moved to New Jersey, but continued to work in a family owned building in New York. His brother remained in New York.
I have several old family photos (early 1900's). One shows Hans in front of the building where he was working in NY. Another shows him in a group of formally dressed men. (I do not know who the others are. Could they be other Dresslers?)
If you think there is a connection you can e-mail me at [email protected]
