Hello Again Horst,
We had E-mailed you quite a long time ago as we are still researching the Quast name also.We have a copy of the passenger list that both Quasts came over to Canada in 1910 on.We are trying to find info on a William Quast and his parents Christian Edmund Quast and Magdalena (Bronch) Quast. They immigrated with Christian & Wilhemina (Hintz) Quast (believed to be Christian Edmund Quast's cousin) in April 1910 on the Brandenburg from Bremen to Halifax, Canada and their final destination was Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Christian Edmund Quast was born in Beltz, Bessarabia, June 29th. 1883 and died Jan. 5th. 1966.He was married to a Magdaline or Magdalena (Bronch) Quast who was from Alexanderfeld Russia and was she was born June 26th. 1886.She died Mar. 23, 1963.They immigrated with two sons Jakob and Ferdinand.
Do any of these names etc. ring a bell with you.They were from the Caucasus area, we are told.Hopefully, someone, if not you, will see this message and have some answers for us.We had been in touch with a Laura Turnbull, quite a while ago, but she does not seem to think that this family of Quasts are related to her Quasts.
Thanking you in Advance,
Judy and Lorne Anderson
