I am researching the Converse Family Ancestors of Kansas, Pennsylvania, and beyond to England and France. This family name was "Convers", "Conyers", and "Conierges" as it migrated from France to England, and ultimately to the United States.
Also being researched is the Marten Svensson Family Ancestors of Sweden. Marten (changed to Martin Swanson) immigrated to the USA in 1882 from Malmo, Sweden and lived the rest of his life in the Lawrence, Kansas, USA area.
I am continuing research into the Vering, Ziesler, and Watts Family Ancestors of Kansas, Germany, and England.
You are welcome to this site. If you have any information to add, please contact me via e-mail. I'll be happy to share any information that develops in return.
