Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2255 Surname: Martschinske ------------------------- I am a descendent of Leo Karl Martschinske, who I believe came from Germany in 1876 or 1886. I believe his wife Dena Nichols was with him. Is it possible there is a connection?
