Family Tree

Ed was able to formulate the following family tree based on these articles and using the various US census data from 1880 to 1930 available from the ancestory.com website. We are still researching this Grenzig branch to see if we can form a connection to the John A. Grenzig Sr. branch or the Friedrich A. Grenzig branch.
