LENERVILLE/LENAVILLE/LENNEVILLE - I am looking for information on the LENERVILLE, LENAVILLE, or LENNEVILLE families that settled in Manitowoc Co. during the 1840's. My great-grandfather, John LANAVILLE, immigrated from Canada to Manitowoc Co. in 1844 (according to info in the census records of 1910). His date of birth is either January, 1824 or January 1827 depending on which records one looks at. He died in 1923 in Menominee Co., MI. His death record says his father's name was Frank (perhaps Francis?) but at least relative insists his father's name was also John. It is said that John LANAVILLE'S father came from France>England>Canada>Wisconsin. John married (between 1865 and 1870)a woman named Delia LAURIE,(b. about 1849) who may also have lived in Manitowoc Co. They eventually moved to Oconto and then on to Menominee Co. MI. I have information on John and Delia LANAVILLE'S decendants I am willing to share. I hope someone can give me more information on the family when they lived in Manitowoc Co. I am looking for any siblings of John or Delia, and also am trying to get confirmation of the names of John LANAVILLE and Delia LAURIE's parents. Thank you. Lynn Benore Thu May 15 13:02:17 1997
