A Strong Story : The Tale of Two Ralphs

Both were born circa 1855 - 1858, one to David and Leonora Strong of Trumbull County, and the other to Samuel and Sarah Strong of Lake County. Serialized in the Strong Family Association of America (SFAA) Newsletter beginning December, 2005.

Ancestral Region in Czech Republic
The Soukup family was from Kortya, a small village near Pilsen, and approximately 60 miles to the west of Prague. The Beznoska family was from Beroun, an administrative center akin to a "county seat". It lies on the motorway that connects Pilsen with Prague, closer to Prague than to Pilsen.

Ancestral Region in England
In 1604, our earliest proven Strong ancestor was fined by the Manor Court of Chardstock, Dorset, because "The water in George Stronge's ditch is not able to pass but run out in the way and he must scower the same." He later moved five miles northward, just across the county border to Somerset. It was George's grandson, Elder John Strong, whom emigrated to New England as a Pilgrim in 1635.

Ancestral Region in France
The Gascony region, in the southwest of France, was home to the Pene, Morlas and Roquevert families before they emigrated to New Orleans around 1860.

Ancestral Region in Germany
G?ppingen, in the midst of the Swabian-Franconian mountains, is the current day German District from which Adam and Catharina Benkelman emigrated shortly after their marriage in 1851. When Adam and Catherine left for America, their hometown was still considered part of the Welzheim Administrative District (though rents were paid to G?ppingen). The border between the two districts ran along the crest of the mountain shared by Breech and the Schneiderhof.
