Surnames: Brenizer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JaB.2ACE/2299.2492.1 Message Board Post: There seem to have been two Brenizer families in Pennsylvania in the late 1700's and early 1800's. One has been traced back to Germany the other (ours) has not. I don't have either a John Albert nor a Joseph R. in my data base. That does not mean that they are not connected to our side of the family. Our Brenizers were in Cumberland County, PA, then York County, PA, then to Maryland and then to Morrow County, Ohio. Do you have any more information concerning dates or places for either of them? I had wondered who Ella was.
