"Jane and Minnie Nehrenz"
From the Editor Dave Nehrenz:
Greetings
from Oklahoma! The extensive Nehrenz family continues to grow in number
all across the country. The network is alive and well through continued
correspondence and the Internet.
This issue
will share the information we have about the family lineage of the two
Nehrenz sisters, Jane and Minnie Nehrenz. They were the only two daughters
from among the seven children of Johann Christian and Mary Nehrenz (who
are the ancestors of ALL the Nehrenzs in the USA!).
Jane
Nehrenz married Charles Beier. Minnie Nehrenz married Herman Martens.
There are no known photographs of either of these couples. We do have a
few pictures of some of their children.
We do not
know if these families have any living descendants today. More research
has to be done in order to trace their lines. Since the surnames Beier and
Martens are more common than Nehrenz, it will also be more difficult to
determine any living descendants.
Here is
the information we have:
