"Strange" from before the year 950,
containing the Danish Strangesen and
Strange, and additionally his own Swedish
Tiburtson-Strange families...

Note: From an email from Martin Casterud dtd Aug.7, 1999,
"I have found a ancestor by the name of Hans Strang who is said to have been
of Scottish origin. He lived in Sweden during the 16th century and died
there in 1609, having served for some years in the Swedish military. I know
nothing of him before he is mentioned in Swedish sources, but when trying
to search for him on the web, it resulted in a huge amount of information
concerning this family. This is how I found Your interesting site!
I would be very glad if you could give me information about how to find
this Hans (John) Strang in Scotland."
See also below: Connection with Rev. Wm Strang,
of Irving, Ayrshire, Scotland.
For a background discussion re the possibly Scandinavian origin of the Strange surname,
see: origin of surnames, and
evolution of surnames. However, in this case
it seems more likely that a Scottish soldier serving in the Swedish army may have given root to this Swedish Strange lineage.

He is somewhat of an authority on the Strang lines and has done extensive
research into the Strangs (Streings) that came from France.

Note: I have, at long last, tied my lonely seafaring James Strang into the
family of the above referenced Jean D'Estreng!! Here's how the direct
lineage goes...
[Reference Note: Most of the following information comes from "The Strangs of
Westchester" written by Charles Alfred Strange - an amazingly detailed
and thorough work which may prove useful to others researching these
lines.]
NOTE ABOUT SURNAME SPELLINGS: It has been remarked that "the
variations that certain Frenchmen of the seventeenth century enjoyed in
the spelling of their surnames. In the Paris documents concerning them,
Daniel and his brother Jacques indulged in this caprice, the name being
signed or appearing variously as String, Streng, Streing, Straing,
Strain, and even Estrain and Estrang. In America however, Daniel's
numerous surviving signatures are all written Streing, Although his
wife's signature on her will is clearly Strieng. Daniel's sons spelled
the name as both Streing and Straing. The thrid generation, as of the
1740s, agreed upon Strang, and, with few exceptions - such as that of
the writer's (Charles Alfred Strange) family - it has been Strang ever
since."
1. Jean D'Estreng b. abt 1598
2. Henry D'Estreng b. abt 1620-
d. aft 1680;
m. Marie BABAULT
3. Daniel Streing b. between 1654-1656 -
d. 1707, Rye,Weschester,New York;
m. Charlotte Le MAISTRE
abt 03 Aug 1680;
These are the immigrant ancestors having feld France for London and the
New York as Huguenots.
4. Daniel Streing b. abt 1692 prob. in New Rochelle, New York-
d. 1741 in either White Plains or Cortlandt, NY;
m. Phebe PURDY
5. Daniel Strang b. abt 1715 in Rye, Westchester Co., New York-
d. 25 Sep 1792 in Rye;
m. Elizabeth GALPIN prob in the early 1740s
6. Gabriel Strang b. 1754-55 at the family farm on the Connecticut line
at Port Chester, New York or in Cortlandt.-
d. Bef 25 May 1826 (the date of the funeral) in Portland Parish, St.
John Co., New Brunswick, Canada;
m. Siscely DAVIDSON
7. Capt James Strang born in 1804 in St. John, St. John Co.,
New Brunswick, Canada.Died, Waweig (Charlotte Co.),
29 Nov 1870, Capt. James Strang, for many
years one of the leading shipmasters out of the Port of St. John
(Standard, 7 Dec 1870).
It would appear that my James Strang was the youngest of 4 children.
Dick Strang contacted me and said "My family bible was started in 1830
by Gabriel Strang b.5th July 1797 d. 1868 both at St John, NewBrunswick
- the second of 4 children. Number four, James Strang, b. 9 Sept
1804..."
James Strang is my 4x grt grandfather who I have been searching for since
October 1996.
I still have some further work to putting together the full story on his
family. He appears to have had two wives,
m. 1st Jane Connick d/o Samuel;
There were children from this union that I still need to uncover.
From Daniel F. Johnson's VITAL
STATISTICS FROM NEW BRUNSWICK NEWSPAPERS we find:
MARRIED Wednesday, Waweig (Charlotte Co.), by Rev. Dr. Thompson, Capt.
James Strang, Saint John/Jane, d/o Samuel Connick (New Brunswick Courier
18 Feb 1832) This reference also lists a number of children dying and I
suspect that Jane also died and that he remarried ca 1835/36.
m. 2nd Margaret abt 1835-36;
From census information, it appears that John Fielden (my 3x grt
grandpa) and his sister Sarah were the only two children of this union.
James Strang (written as Strong in some records) was a
master mariner who sailed out of Liverpool, UK. He sailed the
ship JOHN FIELDEN from 1847-1855.
In 1848, during a tour on the cotton triangle route, his son, John Fielden Strang,
was born in Charleston, South Carolina on 08 May 1848. John's mother
appears to be Margaret Sarah.
The 1851 census for St. Andrews Parish, Charlotte Co., NB shows at p.
93:
James Strang, 50, b. NB, husband, mariner; Margaret, 40, b. NB, wife;
Sarah 14, daughter; John 5, son; Daniel Sullivan, 32, Irish, hired man,
laborer. I had previously identified Sarah as a sister of my John and
Margaret is listed on John's death registration as the mother's name.
John Fielden Strang is known to have had an older sister,
Sarah Strang who was born in Liverpool, UK in February 1837.
Sarah married Jeremiah Rogers (one of the first lumbermen in
British Columbia), in New Brunswick in 1863. There are also
photographic indications that John had a brother closer in age
to himself, although no names have been identified.
8. John Fielden Strang grew up on and around ships, so it is no wonder that
he choose ship building for his first occupation. He married
Helen Margaret Carlow in St. Andrews, New Brunswick on
Wednesday, August 23, 1872. Not long after (or was it before?
- the records conflict) they produced my great great grandmother,
Amanda Gertrude Strang. The Strang and Carlow families removed
from New Brunswick to British Columbia over a period of a few
years. John and Helen Strang lived first in Gastown (now a part of Vancouver, B.C.)
before settling in New Westminster, BC in 1876.
So, there you have it... I now have a STRANG past!!

The researcher will hopefully see many possible new relationships after having reviewed this material. In order to encourage investigation whether the variantly named families are indeed related, we encourage and welcome comment and discussion concerning these possibilities. If you are new to this discussion and research, we encourage subscription to the Rootsweb Email STRONG List as a forum for the discussion.
An exciting new avenue of research is opening. Advances in genetic techology have made it possible to persue a DNA Study which promises to help resolve whether the lineages discussed in this chapter are indeed related. The DNA Study will show whether the lineages have a "Most Recent Common Ancestor" and predict how many generations back from the test subjects the MRCA occured. Take a look at the LeStrange-Strange-Strang-Stronge-Strong DNA Study , and consider joining the project. Help resolve the puzzle whether the various lineages discussed in this chapter are related, and if so, the degree to which they are related!
