Surnames: Bennewitz Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZVC.2ACE/4057.1.1 Message Board Post: The family lived in Manhattan. Also, Palisades, N.J. and perhaps Hoboken, N.J. The town of Ollendorf was given on his marriage certificate. I know that an Ollendorf does not exist in Hannover, but don't know how to research in the other towns. I found Christian Bennewitz in the NYC 1870 census and in Palisades, N.J. in 1900, just a few months before he died in Dec. 1900. Thanks for answering.
