I'm looking for John T. Rentsch, who appears in the 1910 Census of
Center Township, Martin County, Ind. He would have been born about 1894
in Indiana.
His father, whose name is unknown to me, was born in Indiana.
His mother, Margaret, was born about 1875 in Illinois. Her parents were
born in Illinois.
Margaret was married to Louis J. Stahl about 1900.
Louis was born about 1863 in Indiana, and his parents were born in
Germany.
Margaret had one other child. This child was alive in 1910, but was not
listed in this household.
Louis was a painter for R.R. Shops in Martin County.
I have been told John Rentsch was a Catholic and that he never married.
I also have reason to believe he was my grandfather's father.
Any information would be appreciated, and all contact is welcome. I
would be willing to trade research. I can do leg-work in south-central
Indiana.
