    3. Greetings Fellow Lewis Listers: Although I do not know whether there are any Magra family members in Lewis County, I can share with anyone who might be related to the Magra clan limited information about the origin of the family in the county. One of my grandfather's sisters married a Francis Magra. One of their children married Francis Henry. You might be able to associate this family with the Henry Hotel. Albert Henry is my cousin and I obtained the following information on the Alsace-Lorraine list about Francis Henry's origins. Here is that information: Michel MAGRA was born in Bistroff, Lorraine, France, 16/06/1834 He went to Croghan, NY There is also Barbe, his sister born the 11/08/1832 in Bistroff Christophe, Catherine & Marguerite are also listed, but no relation with Michel is clear The parents are not listed If you are related in any way and wish to know where Bistroff is located, it is northwest of Grostenquin and east of Nancy, southeast of Metz, and nearly due south of St. Avold.
