Jim, you made a post back in 2008 about Wm Gensler and in the posting, you listed your line through Robert and Lucinda Cooper Gensler. I am a descendant of William (with wife Mary Warden), thru Isaac, then Thomas Grant Gensler, then Doris Gensler (my grandmother.)

I have some questions about a couple of people in the Robert line. Hopefully you can help me out. Thru my research, I had ended up with a woman named Loula E. Gensler and a woman named Emma Gensler. I finally decided that they were the same person, but I would like your input. I came up with the name Loula from census records that have her as the dau of Robert and Lucinda. She is referred to Emma Dean in the obits of her brothers. Then I have a Lou Emma Gensler marrying Lawrence Alexander. Emma Alexander is found in the 1930 census living with my great-grandmother and listed as a cousin. This great-grandmother was previously married to Thomas Grant Gensler. Tom would have been a cousin to Robert’s children. Is her name Loula Emma Gensler? Did she first marry Lawrence Alexander and later marry a man last name of Dean? Do you know when/where she died? I haven’t been able to find that out.

The other mystery I have is with Robert’s son, Thomas. I have him being born in July 1896. The SSI database shows a death date of Sept 20, 1976, but I have not found an obit for him in the Boonville paper or the California, Mo paper. I even checked the Jefferson City paper and did not find anything there. I do not find him listed in any of the Cooper County cemeteries on the Cooper Co site. Do you know anything about him?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Gensler Info

willgensler — 2008-12-17 00:50:20Z

Hi, my great-great grandfather is William P. Gensler, my great-grandfather is William C. Gensler and my grandfather is Stanley W. Gensler. I am just looking to go back farther to find where my relatives came from prior to the U.S. I believe it is southern Germany. Also, my family seems to be mostly Protestant, but I have run into people who say that "Gensler" is a Jewish surname. Any help would be appreciated.

Thomas Gensler, b 1896 Mo, d 1976 Mo

mvb098 — 2008-11-01 14:55:32Z

I am looking for information about Thomas Gensler, b July 1896 in Mo (probably Cooper Co) and, according to the SSI database, died 20 Sept 1976. He is the son of Robert Gensler and Lucinda Cooper. I have looked for an obit for Thomas, but can not find one. Does anyone know if this is his real date of death? I assume that he lived most of his life in the Cooper County area, but do not know for sure. I do not find him in any of the Cooper Co cemetery listings.

Does anyone have any information on Thomas?

Thanks.

Gwyn, I have info on Burl Gensler’s family. Burl is a half first cousin to my great-grandfather, Thomas Grant Gensler. He is also a first cousin to my great-grandmother Virginia Leona Burrell (who was married to Thomas Grant Gensler.) So we are kin from two sides of the family. Burl’s parents were Joseph Gensler and Alice Ann Burrell. I have info on both the Genslers and the Burrells.

DianeMoore524 — 2008-05-25 20:50:09Z

I am descended from Catherine Gensler or Gentsler born abt 1805 in Pennsylvania and died 1896 in Guernsey Co., Ohio. She married John B. Miller abt 1830 and had seven children all born in Guernsey Co., Ohio. I believe she may have been the daughter of Christian Gensler b. abt 1770. Does anyone have information on my Catherine? I have lots of information to share on her family.

Re: William b. abt. 1820 in Ohio or Pennsyvania

ElmitaJ — 2008-05-14 11:56:12Z

I do not know anything about Mary Warden. I have seen on one of your queries. Asking about Robert & Lucinda. On her death certificate her last name was Cooper. She was born in Osage Co., Mo. It does not list her parents. I have seen on their Marriage License they were married 1883 in Cooper Co., Mo.
Do you have anything back on William's dad Christopher? Anything on his life in Germany or his parents?

Do you have any more information?

I believe my Genslers cam from Germany to Wisconsin, and I am not familiar with anyone in the St. Joseph, MO area, although I cannot rule out a connection at this point. I would be happy to share info. Thank you, Jim

There seem to be a few spelling variants. Not sure of preacher connections. Do you have dates? Siblings?

Gensler Photos?

jbteese — 2004-09-29 07:17:04Z

Mollie, your other reply mentioned photos taken in Milwaukee, WI. This is where my direct ancestors resided, although many cousins are in Indiana and Illinois, perhaps in Missouri. I'll recheck some names, although it would be most helpful to have some dates.

I descend from A Johann Georg Gensler from Eckweisbach, Germany. Any connection there?

May contact direct at jbteese@msn.com

Rev. Garrett F. Genszler

ldahling — 2004-10-14 19:28:11Z

Hi. Would your grandfather happen to be the Rev. Garrett F. Genszler that married Nora Christine Prigge from Goodhue, Minnesota? Nora's parents, Hein Prigge and Anna Marie Dahling, are buried in Goodhue. I believe Anna died when living with relatives in Holland, Michigan. I have read a short genealogy published by Nora's brother, Arthur Claus Prigge, back in 1967. I have been trying for years to find what happened to this family since then. I have mostly come up empty and would love to hear from you. I'd be surprised if there were more than one Rev. Garrett Genszler. If interested, you can read about the Dahling family at http://www.minnesotacousins.com/. My GEDCOM contains an extensive ancestry for the Dahlings.

Gensler in Niagara Falls / Syracuse, NY

shanmack — 2008-01-07 19:08:28Z

My grandfather was Alfred W Gensler 1908-1988. His father, William F Gensler, emigrated from Germany in 1891 and settled in the Syracuse, NY area where he met his wife Anna (Meyers) Gensler. I believe William's father's name was August Gensler.

Does anyone have any information on tracing the Gensler family line back to Germany through William F. Gensler?

Thanks. Andy

Re: GENSLERS IN MO NY

My grandfather was Alfred William Gensler 1908-1988. He was born in the Syracuse, NY area and married Mildred (Ferchen) Gensler in Niagara Falls, NY area, where he settled and had 3 children (2 sons, 1 daughter). Alfred's father, William F. Gensler, emigrated from Germany by himself to the Syracuse, NY area in 1891. He met his wife there, Anna (Meyers) Gensler and moved to Niagara Falls.

I believe William Gensler's father's name was August Gensler, from Germany, but I'm trying to find more info on him. If you can be of any help or if you think there is any relation, please let me know. Andy Mack
