I'm researching my STRONG family branch! So far I have very little to go on, as it seems my particular branch was either very boring or very private! My earliest STRONG was John STRONG b 1825 in NY John Strong m Olive (possibly CATHERWOOD?) b 1836 also NY. 6 children born 1 John Vincent STRONG (b 1850, NY) 2 Melissa (b1854,NY) 3 James ( b1856, NY) 4 Adelbert (b1858,WISC) 5 Charles (b 1863, WISC) 6 Walter (b 1864, WISC) JOHN VINCENT m Ellen MULLEN (b1853, MASS). 7 children born to them 1 Charles (b 1873) 2 John (b 1876) 3 Lydia (b1878) 4 Lee (b 1880) 5 Rhoda Grace (1882) 6 Cora (b1884) 7 Arthur Robert (b 1888, Brownsville, MIN., d 1950 Rockford ILL) *******the info continues & I would be delighted to share the rest of it! I'm in hopes any of the names above will strike a chord with someone! IF indeed ANYONE has any additional information on my STRONG branch, I would be very appreciative! Please, if you would be kind enough, let me know if any of these names are familiar to you. Thank you so much for your time & help. Most sincerely, Rene! aka [email protected]
