My Frank Zenz was born December 19, 1879 to Jacob Zenz and Christina Breno. He married in
1905 to Amanda Drury and their children were Carl, Mabel, Walter, and James.
According to my Zenz book, your Frank was born December 20, 1829 in Coblenz, Germany, the
son of Peter Zenz and Anna Clara Hammes. Peter died in Germany and Frank's mother
married Jodoc(t)us Otto. The family lived in Lorain County. Frank married Elisabeth Eiden
in Lorain County, Ohio. Her parents were William Eiden and Anna Thymes. She was born in
1840 and died in 1860. They had six children.
Frank married (second marriage) Catherine M. Dooes on July 29, 1879. Catherine was born
December 28, 1857 and died May 12, 1927. They had one daughter. Frank died August 22,
1913 in New Bavaria, OH and is buried at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Henry County, Ohio.
There is a photo in the Zenz book of Mary Magdeline with her parents Frank and Catherine
Dooes Zenz. Mary Magdeline was born March 6, 1881 and married William Seimet in June
1906.
There's more, so let me know what you have/don't have. I believe Jacob (our line)
is a brother to Frank.
