I met a Kathy Gunst whose father is Oliver - in Boston and she told me she was from Long Island. She claimed we were not related<br>as my side of the family is Jewish and they are not. Relgiously speaking, <br>the Gunst's are all over the place.<br><br>Lena and William... have you tried the Mormon's database for their information? There was a Lena Oberndorfer Gunst that married one of my great great uncles, Michael Gunst. She disappeared though sometime after the Civil War (her husband was in Va during the war and then unaccountably went back North afterwards). Lena OBERNDORFER Gunst was the sister of Bettie O. Gunst and wife of Henry Gunst (my great great grandfather). In other words, the brother married sisters. They all lived in Hanover County, Va. for a while. However, the census around 1880 in Va for Henry is interesting. Take a look at his household and see if all the children are his? I guess my question to you is this - was Lena born Lena GUNST?<br><br>There was also a Lena Gunst (named after the missing sister) that according to our records in Richmond, died in childhood.<br><br>Michael Gunst (husband of Lena) returned to New York state, remarried, and lived in NYC. My older cousin, Richard Gunst, used to visit him as a child with his father, Emmanuel ("Manny") Gunst Apparently, Michael's own children (of which he had many) did not keep in contact with him. I do not know who the mother of the children was.
