Metzner Family Blog

Cousin Paula Metzner has created a new blog for her genealogy/family history.    The blog is entitled Linnea's Legacy and will focus on her Metzner and allied lines.


Paula's Metzner line diverges from mine a few generations back, and after leaving Ohio and Jay County, Indiana ended up in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Michigan.


Paula's research into the Metzner line has discovered the possible clues to the family in Germany, as mentioned in a previous post.


Please stop by and start following her blog.
