We've just discovered your website, and we know that our relatives originated from the Beaumont -Orange area. We have little information other than the fact that our grandfather was born on 09-21-1898, in the Beaumont-Orange area. His name was HALL SAMUEL GENTZ, and he was called "Shorty". He died in September, 1978, after living for many years in Waldron, Arkansas. While he was living he married LEILA LOUISE LITTON, my grandmother. I was wondering if you would be so kind to send us some Internet links to sites where we can gather some information about my grandfather OR possible if you have gathered any data during your research if you could send a bit to us. My brother and I would be extremely interested. Thanks so much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Charles R. Gentz & Curtis S. Gentz 800-999-9594 Toll Free in Las Vegas, Nevada

Dear Mr. Block, We already have more information! My aunt tells me that our grandfather, HALL SAMUEL GENTZ, was fathered by WELBY DUNBAR GENTZ, born about 1872, and that Welby married Sarah Belle (Ferris or Fairis?) Broussard, who was born 04-19-1878, died 05-08-1968 buried in San Jacinto Cemetery, Greens Bayou on the Market Street Road. So, rather than supply info about H.S.Gentz, we would appreciate any family tree information or website links about WELBY DUNBAR GENTZ instead! We believe our ancestors immigrated to the Port Neches area between 1850 and 1900, but cannot confirm it. Bless you for any help you can provide. Sincerely, Curtis Gentz & Randy Gentz
