We are Connie and Gerry Lenzen, and we are working on our family history. Gerry does his family, and Connie does hers. Sometimes, we even work on the other's family.
As we become better skilled at Internet work, we will be putting additional information on our families on this site.
To begin, we have information on:
The Huiras family.
Connie's ancestry:
Frances B. (Whitney) Miller Frances was born 26 October 1836 in West Woodstock, Vermont. That is what she wrote on a family register. What she didn't record was the name of her parents. The search for Frances' ancestry was solved by doing a cluster genealogy -- investigating everyone who came in contact with her -- and by finding deeds to a small parcel of land owned by her mother and her various husbands.
Joseph Stariha (1857-1930). Joseph Stariha and his nephew Anton Stariha married the Cvar sisters: Frances and Angela. Intermixed in the narrative, we meet Louis Cvar, brother to Frances and Angela. He is the one who "got in trouble with the immigration authorities." We are briefly introduced to John Cvar, father of Frances, Angela, and Louis. He almost met his goal of finding American husbands for his three daughters. We meet Terezija Cvar, the sister who stayed in Slovenia.
Milla Tzila Lufkin aka Susan Josephine (Dudley) Titus (1865-1925). Susan was born in Boston and adopted by William H. and Susan (Johnson) Dudley. The search for her birth parents, David Lufkin and Caroline Kelsey was conducted in the late 1890s and is being done again.
David Rose (1721-1781) A goal of this research was to try to find record of David Roseand his wife, Hannah Par, in Washington County, Maryland. Another purpose of this research was to specifically identify and locate David Rose in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania between 1760 and 1780. A secondary purpose of this research was to use Robert and Abigail Rose, identified as the parents of David Rose by Judge Rose, to help locate and identify David Rose in New Jersey between 1745 and 1760.
Joseph Fields (about 1776-1850). Joseph was suspected to be the father of William C. Fields. William married Sarah (Sally) Cook in Howard County December 28, 1837. These latter two were determined to be the direct ancestors of the author, Gerald S. Lenzen.
