Genealogy pages for the Wentz family and relations.
The following pages have genealogy information for my family. My parents' family names are the Wentz and Ziemba, Kay's parents' family names are Edgmon and Kay.
- I always thought that the Wentz's were German. But I've got them tracked back to Odessa, Ukraine, Russia. The Wentz name may still be German, I just haven't been able to go back far enough.
- We have the Ziemba line back to Poland, or Austria. The borders over there were changing a lot this last century. We believe they were Polish, but with out a city name, its hard to tell which country it is in now.
- On my mother's mother's side, we have data back to 1514 in England for the Coats family. They changed their name a few times along the way. They started as Coate, added an 's' to be Coates, then dropped the 'e' to be Coats.
- I think the Edgmon's are from Scotland, I don't have that data yet.
- And the Kay family is from China
A lot of the data is from my mother's mother Edith Kathryn Coats and my 2nd cousin Diana Wentz dbeld@attbi.com.
The software I use is "Personal Ancestral File" which can be downloaded for free from http://www.familysearch.org.
If you think you are related and want me to add you to my data, or have questions or comments, let me know. lance@wentz.com I don't guarantee the accuracy of the data, but to the best of my knowledge, it is correct.
