Hi! I am a descendent of Adam and Lavinia's oldest daughter Elizabeth who married Charles A. Howe. I have been researching the Bentz family since I stumbled upon some old documents that gave me the name of Elizabeth's parents and some more of Lavinia's family. I don't have any really new data, but I do have some photos, one which I believe maybe two of the children of Gertrude and Franz Kluge. The photographer is out of Washington DC, where I know that Gertrude lived. I also have many other old Bentz family photos including a Civil War Photo of who I believe to be Adam Bentz with his horn. I also have a tin-type that I believe to be Lavinia. It says "Mrs. Bentz" on the back of it and the woman looks just like Elizabeth, but appears to have a longer chin. I am interested in finding someone who can possibly identify some of these photos if I e-mailed them. Do you think that you or any of your family can help? I would be glad to share these photos anyhow. Good-luck on your geneology search and Thanks!
