This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harvey, Lamb, Streuning/Straning/Strenning, Dovell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wg.2ADE/918.943.2.1 Message Board Post: I made telephone contact with an elderly gentleman from North Dakota (a William McConnell, I believe) shortly after I posted the George Harvey message in '99. We promised to exchange information. I sent him mine; he never sent his. But he did say he was the grandson of Catherine Strenning's sister. Strenning is how he spelled it. Streuning is supposedly how it was spelled in Germany and it may have been "von Streuning." I can't recall Catherine's sister's name and didn't write anything down since I was expecting documentation in the mail. But your Eliza looks like a promising thread as the geography and general time frame are good. Please keep me posted and I will do the same.
