my mother was born in germany and also raised there. her paternal side comes from gollenow pommern which at one time belonged to sweeden then germany then after the war it was given to poland ... my mother is interested in finding any american cousins she would have because her father was the last lenz of her line and she believed many came to america.
here is her line starting with her father
max edward gustav lenz b 1904 in pommern died 1987 in konstanz germany
he was married to elsa ruch
his parents were
gustav otto julius lenz 1877 to 1933 born in pommern ( gollenow/golieniow
he was married to julia schuller from hunsrick town of kirn the pommern area
his parents were
ernest fredrich/fredrick lenz born 1 sep 1836 and died 28 oct 1884 he was married to auguste emelia schwartz born 9 aug 1838 she was the daughter of daniel fredrich/fredrick schwartz and wilhelmina marie louise muller she was born 1807
ernest parents were
johnaa lenz he was born 30 jan 1805 and he was married to charlotte regine tolzman born may 1807
this is all my mother has on the lenz family and would like to go back further or help others... she speaks really good english as she has lived in the united states for most of her adult life. she does not use the pc though and i am doing and have been working the family tree for quit some time, although i am an adopted child she is the only mother i ever knew growing up and i have done my own background and been very sucessful and even started a yahoo group where all the cousins were able to meet and come together and i am wanting to do the same for her and in time i am sure she will learn how the pc works for now my father does all the pc stuff. anyway please contact me at [email protected] if your family comes from the pommern area my mother has alot of paperwork as her father had to prove they were german when world war two broke out so their is alot of documents... she also has some pics and would love to see others and put this all together eventually of a book for everyone that is related... if you suspect your lenz came from this area please email me thankyou so much angie [email protected]
