Ron Bauerle's Lance Family Page
LANCE Family Genealogical Research
(by Ron Bauerle)
Welcome to my LANCE family page. I am descended from Christopher (1749-1824)
and Sarah (Johnson) (1751-1833) Lance of Jefferson and Wayne Counties, Ohio.
They were from New Jersey, presumably of German origin, and settled in
Jefferson Co, OH;
my branches of the family ended up in
Wayne Co, OH, and
Clinton Co, MI.
If you have any problems accessing anything, or any additions/corrections,
