Hello Everyone, I hope all had pleasant holidays. I have missed getting messages from the list, I know everyone has been busy with the holidays. I have a vacation from until after New Year's and today, I was looking through some info I had, that I haven't been able to get to, because of holiday preparations. Catherine Noth, a lister from France found the following information for me doing some research for the YENDER family: JENDRE or JENDER Francois Jean Georges died 24 Dec 1832 age 21. He was military at the 52th regiment of line infantry, was born in Herbsheim. Son of Jean Georges JENDER age 48 born in Walsteten(BW) and of the late Rosalie BONNET, who died age 42 in Herbsheim. The information of Walsteten is here contradictory with information found in other records. JENDER Jean Georges died on 3 Jan 1836 age 52. He was born in Weilheim (Kingdom of Wuerttemberg) and widow in 1st marriage of Rosalie BONNET and widow in 2nd marriage of Marie Madeleine WINTZER. He was the son of the late Louis JENDER and the late Christine (EPHLERIN). The second witness of the death was Francois Xavier JENDER age 21 his son JENDER Francois Xavier married on 19 June 1837 ADAM Marie Francoise (see details of the records in following e-mail) They had following children : Marie Elisabeth born 19 July 1838 Jean Georges born 14 January 1840 Marie Barbe 14 March 1842 who died 8 August 1842 Aloise born 20 May 1843 Francois Xavier 1844 In the 1837 wedding record there is following mention : The groom is also stating that in his birth record his surname was spelled JENDER and that his mothers name was given as Marie Rosalie BONNETT but that those were mistakes : in fact he is the son of Jean Georges JENTER born in Weilheim (Wurtemberg) on 1st March 1784 and of Rosalie BONNET born in Herbsheim on 5 January 1781. This is confirmed by the other witnesses following the « Avis du Conseil d¹Etat » of 30 March 1818. *************************** Today I tried some variations of spellings on the IGI and came up with some intresting records. JENDER, Mary christened 27 Feb 1663 St Alphege, Canterbury, Kent England father Richard GENDER, Elizabeth christened 30 Apr 1666 St Alphege, fth Richard, mth Mary GENDER, Catherine christened 31 Jul 1670 St Alphege, fth Richard Mth Mary GENDER, Anne Christened 29 Sep 1672 St Alphege, Fth Richard, Mth Mary I also found about 4 records for various GENDRE christened between 1714 and 1724 at the Walloon or Strangers Church, Canterbury, Kent, England. All of this give me hope that I can connect my Huguenot ancestor, one Laux JENTER born circa 1580 in France, escaped and settled in Heselwangen, BW, Germany, to any of therse records. If anyone is researching JENTER, JENDRE, JENDER, GENDER, GENDRE, or anything similar, I would love to hear from them. (Please forgive me for such a long message, but I have hope that there may be a crack in my wall, and I might be able to find out where in France Laux JENTER is from.) thanks for reading this, Karen JENTER Michigan USA
