Hi Scott!
Thanks for responding to my inquiry about the Marshall Town Iowa Lorenzen's. I will have to get back to you concerning Peter Carl Lorenzen's name and Sophia. I'll have to talk to my Mom and Dad and see if the name sounds familiar. I'll also get the dates (if I can) of our family arriving in America and locating in Marshall Town.Does your family have any information concerning the Lorenzen Farm? My Dad spent his first 5-6 years there and then his father (Walter Lorenzen) moved the family to California (South Gate area.) My father was the youngest of 4 boys from Walt. My Grandfather flew his plane back to Marshall Town with my Dad when my Dad was 14. While visiting my Grandfather had a massive stroke and died 4 or so hours later leaving my Dad there to make funeral arrangements. At 14 years old, it was quite traumatic for my Dad however, he did it and so my Grandfather is buried there, in Marshall Town. All of our Lorenzen's seem to have had most of their life experiances around that farm. So if Peter Carl has a link to the farm then there is a good chance we are family! Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Lori.
