I'll be heading out to NY in August to visit family again.... My Mom's side is having a family reunion. There should be ALOT of people there!! The facebook page they've started has some pictures of some of our earliest known relatives. As of now.. this is as far back as we have been able to go! Dionysius and Mary (Konrad) Hosenfeld - Dionysius emigrated to America from Hessen, Germany in 1846 at the age of 15, and married Mary in 1854. They had 10 kids! These are my 4X great grands I believe!

And this is my great grandparents on the outside, with my grands on the inside. I never met my Grandma but have been told I'm a lot like her! This one is of my Great Grands, Frank and Clara Hosenfeld on their wedding day, May 4 1904! My Great Grandpa Frank was a business owner and one of the first to own in Webster NY. He owned a general store. He sold that store to the Burke Family and it is still there to this day, but as a bar! There is a plaque above the door that reads Hosenfeld Block with the founding dates! I find ancestry FACINATING... and wish I had more time to dedicate to it. We have a family historian but she only works on the Hosenfeld side. I don't know much about my paternal grands side at all.. or my mom's dad's side... it seems that there is NOTHING.
