Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11352 Surname: Fritzinger, Ankeny, Eby, Weir, pender ------------------------- Jacob Fritzinger was born in Ohio in 1822 and went to Van Buren County Iowa to homestead. He died at his home in Bonaparte, Iowa June 5th, 1896. He was first married to Catherine EBY and second to Mary C. Weir. In 1885 he married Flora Pender. Jacob had at least 6 children one of whom was George Washington Fritzinger. I do not know if the Ankeny family continued the contact with this family as they had in Pa and Ohio. I am hoping to make contact with any living decendents and to learn more about Jacob and his decendency. Any response will be appreciated. I am a gg nephew on my mothers side.
