Looking for Year Schlenz Came to America
my grandfather's name is Priny the second born out of eight. Born in Minnesota 1897, moved to Montana where the only sibling was born, Aunt Ester(Pat). Great Grandpa's name was Charles not sure what Great Grandma's name was for sure but they homesteaded south of Brockton, Montana. Want to know if "Schlenz" is the real name or if Ellis Island switched it around a little. My Father was born here on the farm and married a Sheehan.
I've always been amazed how my father looked so much like my grandfather when he was young. I am adopted which is really cool so I don't have the same gene pool. My sister is also adopted and people have said that she looks like dad and I look like mom, which is cool too; she is fullblood Irish.
