Patrick,
Sorry for the delay in responding, but the notice went to the original writer.
Yes, the family you listed is our family.I'm intrigued that you are researching the Lorentz family as "Jacob1" on your note married Anne Marie Lorentz in 1813 in Sternenberg, Alsace, France and their first son, John (Jean) emigrated to St. Clements, Ontario about 1835 and I suspect that he may have come over with, followed or enticed his cousins to come over after him to Ontario.I recently found that Joseph Lorentz emigrated from Sternenberg through NYC in 1840 (if memory serves) and his age matches the Joseph I've noticed in the St. Clements area early on.There is also a Thiebold Lorentz in the area, but is seems he may have come over before Joseph.
If I can be of any help with your search let me know.
