Hi, my great-great grandfather was Joseph M. Lena (pronounced li-NAY) (b. Oct 1852 in Prussia or France, d. bef 1930 in Wisconsin). He married Emily Maas (b. 1 Aug 1854 in Pomerania, Germany, d. bef 1920 in Wisconsin) on 19 Apr 1873 in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. On the marriage record, it shows Joseph's name as "Joseph Line" and that his parents are Peter J. Line and Margareta Luz. It shows Emily's parents as Frederick and Louise Maas. Peter and Margareta may have been from Ontario, Canada. The Lena/Line name may have been changed from some other name.
My great-grandfather was Rudolph Hugo Lena, the son of Joseph and Emily (b. 1 Jul 1895 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, d. 1954 in Milwaukee) who married Margaret Catherine Sault (b. 22 Aug 1895 in Wisconsin, d. 16 May 1964) in abt 1915.
Please, if anyone has any connections and/or information on this family, contact me! I would be willing to share pictures and information, as well.
Thank you,
Mindy Sterns Fletcher
