Lencia

by ebmom 4 years, 4 months ago

My mother's surname is Lencia. I did not know how rare it was until I started doing her family tree. Her father was born in Rueglio, near Turin in Italy, and I was able to trace his family in Turin as far back as the late 1700s. The surname sounds spanish, and my DNA has traces of Spain and I found Lencia in southern Spain. Anyone else researching this last name?

Looking for parentage of George W Simmons and/or his wife Marie J Bowen of Canada

by ebmom 7 years, 8 months ago

I am looking for the parents of either or both of George W Simmons, born about 1808 in Canada who most likely died before 1860 in Canada. His wife was Marie J Bowen, was born approximately in 1812 in Burford, Brant County, Ontario and died August 16th 1885 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They had 4 children that I could find (one of which my husband's ancestor) named Charlotte, Sarah, George & Edward. They were all born in Canada but moved to Michigan in 1860 or so. I cannot find a marriage certificate for the couple or anything about their parents. I've been looking for YEARS!!! HELP!!!!
