Over the years I have investigated the Mense family throughout the world.
I was born in the Netherlands and hence have a lot of info of Dutch family members, but also those in the USA and Germany and also in other countries.
I did publish some data on the web, but no longer have that email address, so use mensecoleman@yahoo.co.uk instead.

The farthest back I have is a Ludger George Mense born Dec 20, 1820. Not sure where. Was married in Nov 22, 1853 in Prussia to Maria Wienkamp. I don't suppose any of those names pop up in your research? Thanks for your help.

I appreciate the information that you posted but we don't really have a John Mense in the family I am researching. I am searching for any information on William Mense who I have born in Prussia about 1829. He had a brother Adam and a brother Henry. They came to the United States and settled in St. Libory or Lively Grove Illinois. Any information that you would have on these people, I would appreciate. I have some information on William and Adam's families if you need any of that.

John's danish name was Jurgen. He went by John when they moved here. All I have about their lives in Hamburg is his wife was born into a wealthy family and disowned when they married. Jurgen's wife was Hermine Dehnke and married about 1873. They came to this country in 1880 and were naturalized in 1885. I am working on getting his papers. They did have one child while still in Hamburg, John Jr. born May 14, 1874.

Thank you. I don't have any John Mense. But we might be in the right area. You have any information of the Mense in Germany?

My Mense family came from Hamburg, Germany but settled in Chicago. John Mense married Hermine Denhke in Hamburg. He came from Denmark. They came to America in around 1880.

I don't have a lot of information on the Mense's. On Bernard, do you have a birth date? I have one listed born January 25, 1858.

I have started trying to resesarch my husband's family. His great-grandfather was William who was married to Katherina Wegmann-Korte-Mense and his grandfather was Bernard who was married to Rosina Tholen. They settled in Illinois. William is buried in St. Libory. If you have any information on any of these, I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I have information back to 1745 on those who lived at Mensinge Mensink in The Netherlands and their ancestors in America. Mensink and Mensing were used as surnames but Mense may be related. My e-mail address: moskvig@rconnect.com (in Iowa).

Just to let you know that my Mense connection turns out to be a medival name of Dutch settlers who settled the land in the region of my Mensink/Mensing ancestors. No German connections (until perhaps intermarriage after emmigration to America).

My grandfather's last name is Mense. We have the family name traced to 1839 in Demark. That is when my 2nd ggrandfather was born. He moved to Germany and became a coachman. He married the daugther of the family and they came to America. They lived in Chicago for the rest of their long lives.
