I realize this inquiry is about 4 year old, but if you're still out there, here goes:
Christian Wenger is my g-g-grandfather. He was b. Dec. 2, 1799 & d. April 9 1882. You have the 10 kids correct.Here are the match ups:
Johnm. Mary Ernst,
3 children
Christianm. Elizabeth Goldsmith
10 children
Nicholas (Nick)never married
Josephm. Elizabeth Roth
9 children
Benedictm. Magdalena Gingerich
7 children
Anna(Annie) m. Christian Eicher
10 children
Marym. Joseph Rich
12 children
Lenam. Chris Ernst
8 children
Katiem. John Miller
7 children
Barbaram. Chris Schlatter
5 children
I am a descendant of Benedict & Magdalena.Their youngest, Samuel, was b. Oct. 5, 1884 and d. May 23, 1966. He m. Elizabeth (Lizzie) Mae Rich Oct. 10, 1904 They had 7 children. Their youngest, Donald, is my dad. Longevity & fertility seems torun stong in the family. Sam & Elizabeth had 61 years together & my dad, Donald & mom, Betty are still here & just celebrated their 54th anniversary.
I have a 28 page breakdown of the family if you're interested. It has alot more detail than what I've noted here. I can mail you a copy if you like.My aunt Gertie (Donald's sister) has done extensive research & cataloged a lot of info, including 2 trips to Europe. These pages are something she put together about 20 year ago, so they may not be complete, but it would give you a start.Some of the info was obtained out of our family Bible(which my dad has) and other documents she has aquired.Let me know what, if anything else, you might need.Good luck.Alan M. Wenger
