Our grandma Rose Herzet was born in Florence, Kansas 1907. We do not know her father's first name. Her mother was Anna Goffinett, born 1876. Can't find anything else on Anna. Another daughter was Lillian and I think the following Herzet's are also children of Anna:
August "Gus"
peter
Bus
Fred
Victor

Hi Patti,
I'm looking for information on a Clara Goffinet. I do know that she married John F. Byrne in Marion County, Kansas. I have her birthdate listed as Janauray 1, 1879 in Florence, Kansas. Do you know if she is related to your Goffinet family, by chance?

Yes, Clara belongs to this family and I think that probably any Goffinet in Kansas did! Clara's sister Anna Goffinet-Herzet was my husband's great grandmother. They were daughters of Frank Goffinet and wife Victoria whose maiden name is still unknown. Please look at my database linked below. I have found quite a bit about the family since posting the original question.

Hi Patti,
Thank you for your response. I am so glad to find some information on Clara. I have been looking for some time and didn't even have her parents names. This is a wonderful help. I am very excited to check out your website.

Thank you so much!
Shelley

Please contact me I have reviewed your website and a number of things are missing or incorrect. I am a direct decendent of Theresa Counet Herzet. She was married twice in Belgium. She married Charles Thomas in 1864 they had 3 children Charlotte (later she married a Lespagnard), Robert and Charles who died in infancy. Charles Thomas was kicked in the head by a Belgium horse and died in 1869. She married Peter (Pierre-Jean-Celetain) Herzet in 1871 they had 2 children August and Joe. He was also kicked by a Belgium horse in the chest and lingured for a year before dying Jan 31, 1883. She moved to Florence KS in 1886 stayed for a year and then moved to Colorado for a year and then moved back to the Florence area until the boys were grown and then moved in with her daughter living with them for over 30 years until she died Jan 14, 1927 She was buried Jan 17, 1929 in the Cedar Point Cemetery. August married Elviere Rosier and they had 4 children Ester, Fred, Theresa and Thomas (my grandpa). Her son Joe preceeded her in death by 15 days. I have further info on the family if you would like to contact me. Also as for the Goffenett side my mom has a couple of photos of them and also the homeplace she lives on has an original stone house (now in poor shape) that was built by Mr Goffinett. My mom is away right now but when she returns I will have much more info about Uncle Joe and Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Robert that may help you. My email is sheildo4me@hotmail.com

Thank you, thank you! Sheila you have knocked down one of our brickwalls. I had suspected that Theresa was a widow before she came to the states but had no idea she had been married twice or the names of her husbands. My husband is a G-Grandson of Joe Herzet. I will email you directly. Once again, thank you for the answers!

HI Please do email me directly. I have a lot of the family info. And if I dont my mother does and there is also some of the Lespagnard family still around although its getting slim in that respect most all of them that had the direct knowledge are now gone. August Herzet, Joe's brother was my gr grandfather. Without talking to my mom I do not have lots of info on Joe at the moment. As for their mother Theresa I do have a copy of her obituary and also of the obituary from Belgium of her husband Peter (Pierre-Jean-Celestian) Herzet it is in French and I mean old French which is very difficult to translate but I have translated it as best it can be. My copy is a photocopy my Grandma had the original and I suppose my mom has it now along with most all of the old family photos I know there are one or 2 pictures with Theresa in them. Contact me I cant wait to exchange info.

My name is Lisa Cooley and I am related to the Goffinet family of Marion County, Kansas. I was reading through the message board entries about the family and was wondering what information you had. I am just getting started in tracing the family but was very excited to see the message about the stone house built by Frank Goffinet who is my great great grandfather. I would be interested in learning the location of the house as I still live in Kansas only one county away from Marion. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Lisa Soller Cooley
