This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: matzen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XY.2ADE/855 Message Board Post: I've just started doing some reasearch on my family ancestry on my Fathers side. I know a little but not much so any help would be appreciated. Here is what I know so far: Father: Delbert Matzen Uncle: Christian Matzen Grandfather/Grandmother: Frederick J. & Myrtle Matzen Great Aunt: Mildred Keefe(? Not sure if it was O'Keefe or just Keefe) Great Grandfather: August Matzen I am not clear whether my great grandfather had any siblings or not. They were supposed to have immigrated from Denmark but everything I trace back on the name comes from Germany so the family may have started in Germany and along the line moved to Denmark. I have an old family bibler that is Danish and I hear my Great Grandfather spoke it as well. This is fun!
