I am trying to identify the parents and German birthplaces of my g-g-gparents,
Friedrich KLOEPPEL and Margaretha Barbara LENZ who immigrated to Cincinnati separately around 1850 and were married at St. Matthaeus Evang. Lutheran Church in Cincinnati, 16 Apr 1854.
From Delphos OH Lutheran church records, I know that Margaretha Barbara LENZ was b. 21 Mar 1827 or 1825 in OBERFRANKEN (upper Franconia), village/town not identified nor known.
Possibilities for her father include:
1. Michael Lenz, listed in 1849/50, 1850/51, & 1853 Cincinnati city directories, dry goods, W 5th St (between Race & Elm)
2. Mathias Lenz, 1855 Cincinnati city directory, & nat. record V. 31, p194
3. Leopold Lenz, 1856 Cincinnati city directory & 1860 census, Ward 10
4. Friedrich Lenz, 61, with dau's Margaretha, 24, and Elizabeth, 21, arrived in Baltimore from Gellershausen, DEU, 1 June 1850. I haven't located a Gellerhausen in Oberfranken?
Friedrich Kloeppel, b. 27 Jun 1823 (per Delphos OH Lutheran church records), Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen (village not known), DEU. Researching this area in DEU, I have found a Johann Friedrich Klöppel, b. 27 Mar 1822,in Gudersleben (a small village a few kilometers south of Sonderhausen), who immigrated to America in 1851. I believe this is my ancestor, but I do not know why the dates do not match. From the German records, it appears that the father of this Johann Friedrich Klöppel, Johann Heinrich Klöppel (b. 3 Jul 1800) came to America in 1852 with his second wife, Friederike Dorothea Penzler (b. 20 Jan 1828).
Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello, here a reaction from the Netherlands;
I am a LENTZ - daughter and since some years wandering in the jungle of LENZ or LENTZ;
Our first Len(t)z is living in Scheuern (Countship Nassau-Diez) around 1650;
as far as we know no one of our Lentz-es emigrated to the States or Canada (but in the 50-ties of this century).
In the nearest future I'm sending 2 Gedcoms to the My-Web organization of Dave Wilks; but I'm still updating the files, so you'll have to wait.
With regards,
Gertie Harkema-Lentz. - [email protected]
I am looking for Lentzes that have any
connection to Pennsylvania, because it appears that my Lentz ancestors lived
all over the place in PA. Some of the places that come to my mind though are
: Westmoreland County (Irwin, North Huntingdon, Larimer, Ardara, Greensburg),
Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), Adams County, Berks County, York County.
I live in Tallahassee, Florida and have lived in Easley, South Carolina;
Berlin, Germany; and Winter Park, Florida, so I´m sure that Lentzes with PA
connections are all over the place too.
Looking for LENTZ. My great-grandmother was a LENTZ and married a LOWE. I have no first name for either of these people. I know that grandmother was a
nurse. She might have been born in the mid 1800s. She had a son name WILLIAM HARLIN LOWE born: 1895 in Illinois. A daughter JENNELL LOWE. There was another brother with a PEG LEG, no name for him. Grandmother's husband LOWE was a house builder and so was WILLIAM. Grandmother went to California and WILLIAM went in the 1930s. Any info on this name would be most appreciated.
Thanks Barbara
