Wow Ann,
Welcome to the fascinating journey of finding your roots and welcome to rootschat.
I was interested to see mention of music as that was what brought my Hannovarian gt grandfather and his extended family to England where they settled amd opened a music school after touring mainland Europe.
Good luck to you and Cathy,
Cheers,
Rena

Wahoooo!!!! Weyhey!!!!
Hi there, Ann!
I have been trying to trace descendents of Phillipp and George for some ten years without success. I have a full Baker tree from Johannes, George and Phillipp, and I am touch with relations (from Johannes) in England, USA and Canada. This Canadian branch has produced a comprehensive 'Baker Book'.
My computer is on the blink so please excuse any delays in messaging. I have a new one on order and this should be up and running in a week or so.
Yes, the brothers Johannes (John), Phillipp and George were all musicians in Worthing and also played at the Theatre Royal in Brighton. I'm intrigued to learn that Christian lived with his mother, Renee, in England. Does that mean that Joseph and Renee emigrated with their sons from Germany? I have not been able to find a death certificate for Christian.
I have some photos of the brothers, too, which I can send.
If I can work out how to do it, I shall send you a personal message with my email address.
Rena - many thanks for your support and messages of luck. I may not have tracked the Bakers/Baikers back to Nassau, but it looks as though I have found some 3rd cousins!
Best wishes,
Cathy

Hi Cathy,
I have been researching my family tree, and have found my 2x great grandfather Johann Lassman came over from Nassau, Germany aged 17, and was a profesional musican with 'The Rhine Band'.
He & his fellow musicians resided at 28 Cumberlain Place, Brighton in the 1861 Census and in 1872 he got married and stayed in England.
I am trying to trace information about The Rhine Band, & also Johan Lassman, as I know the band performed in Worthing bandstand and Brigton in the 1860's.
Also I have traced a local book about Worthing, 'A Town's Pride: Victorian Lifeboatmen & their Community' by Rob Blann. and there are several references to the Rhine Band.
I will be buying a copy this week, & would be happy to share any info or photos with you , as I am trying to find any photo's of the band myself.
Stuart

Hi, Stuart,
Following the messages here, there are now eight descendents of the Baker brothers who are corresponding and sharing information by private group email. I know Johann Lassman was not a Baker, but he was a member of the Rhine Band and must have known the brothers really well. There were quite a few German musicians living in south Sussex at the time and I am sure they all knew each other.
Did your Johann come from Nassau? We have been trying to trace the Baker family back to their German roots and wonder whether there might have been a mass exodus of musicians from some music school when the Prussian war began.
We have a photo of the Rhine Band members which we can share with you. You may be able to pick out your Johann.
Can you please send me a personal message and I will let you have my email address. (Click on my name and then click 'send a personal message'.) I am sure the other 'Bakers' would be happy for you to be included in our group.
I was going to buy a copy of 'A Town's Pride' but I was told there was no real information about the Rhine Band in it. Do let me know if it is worth purchasing.
Look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes,
Cathy

I've looked in "Die Wandermusikanten von Salzgitter" book by Alfred Diek, to see if Lassman(n) or Baker/Becker are indexed but unfortunately not. The book only mentions Salzgitter because of the annual music fest; most of it records a group of musicians travelling the world and meeting up with other musicians.
Good luck,
Rena
