Posted on: Lutheran Roots Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Special/LutheranRoots/54 Surname: ------------------------- I find nothing on either spelling. the dates in the book are from 1730-1799. I was so disappointed in the book that I offered to do look ups so no one else would be parted with their money. If you need anything else, please email me directly Have you considered the name Bender, or Fender? There are Benders in the book, but no Fender. Patty
