STARTING AT THE BOTTOM

THESE TWO GOOD LOOKING YOUNG MEN ARE MY GRANDCHILDREN. THEY WERE EATING THE BLACK FROSTING OFF OF THE CAKE FOR MY OLDEST DAUGHTER'S 30TH BIRTHDAY CAKE!! THE SHORT ONE IS NATHAN AND THE TALLER ONE IS "LITTLE" JOHN. IN THE BACKGROUND YOU SEE MY SON BRAD AND MY DAUGHTER BRENDA (NATHANS MOM). I LOVE THIS PICTURE AS THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE TWO BOYS MET EACH OTHER.

ZENZ, SENZ OR ZENS????????

I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING MY FAMILY TREE FOR YEARS, BUT I KEEP GETTING STUCK ON THIS SIDE OF THE FAMILY. MY DAD SPELLED OUR LAST NAME AS SENZ AS DID HIS FATHER AND MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER USED ALL THREE SPELLINGS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER IN HIS LIFE AND BELIEVE ME THIS HAS CAUSED SOME GREAT CONFUSION!!! SUPPOSEDLY THE ORIGINAL SPELLING OF THE NAME IS ZENZ. I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON NICHOLAS ZENZ B-1825 IN STUTGAARDT GERMANY MARRIED TO ANTOINETTE FRANZ ALSO B-1825 IN GERMANY. THEY ARE PARENTS OF FRANK ZENZ B-1846 IN TRIER, GERMANY AND DIED 1872 IN PREBLE, WISCONSIN. MARRIED HENRIETTA VAN DEN BOOM B-1842 BEGHEL, HOLLAND AND DIED 1872 PREBLE, WISCONSIN; MARRIED IN 1860 IN WISCONSIN. THEY WERE THE PARENTS OF HENRY PAUL ZENZ (ZENS, SENZ), FRANK, NICHOLAS AND JOSEPH. HENRY WAS BORN JANUARY 23, 1861 IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN AND DIED MARCH 27, 1945 IN COOS BAY, OREGON. HE MARRIED KATHERINE VAN HANDEL IN WISCONSIN ON JUNE 14, 1889. KATHERINE WAS BORN MAY 1, 1869 IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN AND DIED FEBRUARY 23, 1947 IN COOS BAY, OREGON.

Soooooo, if you know anything about any of these people or would like to ask questions or whatever give a holler!!!
