Genealogy / Making connections with surnames Zmurkow & Fenske to my ancestry (HENRIETTA FENSKE Approx 1870-1906ish) [2]
Merged:
Hello everyone, I'm new here and posting in hopes of getting some help researching my 2nd great grandmother Henrietta Fenske. I have little to no information she even existed and have exhausted all websites such as Ancestry, family search along with many other websites, but it's difficult to navigate some when I have so little to go on and am missing some information. I feel I'm missing something or some knowledge I haven't learned yet of European history. I'm familiar with the border changes of the past along with other history but am still learning and hope someone can help me get past this brick wall! I continuously make efforts to educate myself to better help my research but it seems I'm a little lost and am missing something here.
Below are the details I know.
Any and all information, tips, resources and advice to help me over this wall are greatly appreciated!
_______________________________________________
Henrietta Agathe/Agata Fenske (B. 1870 D. 1906)
She likely passes away in Poland and was born in Germany but I've yet to confirm that along with how she passed so young.
I've found no record of her marriage to Wilhelm or birth of any of her children in Europe that I can confidently say are accurate nor do I know specifically where she was born or where she passed. All I have is Mathildes confirmation in Germany I think, that is the only accurate record I have in Germany with her name.
Henrietta is seen in Canadian marriage records of a couple of her kids with one she's listed as Agata.

Husband :
Wilhelm Lentz (B. 1869 D. 1946 in Alberta Canada.
Also his name has been posted on Ancestry and such as Wilhelm Friedrich Gustav Lentz but I have some reservations about the name and the order.
His death certificate says he was born in Poland but I assume given his DOB this was not Poland at the time of his birth.
_______________________________________________
Children :
Mathilda/Mathilde
Ludwig Louis
Heinrich
Emilie
Otto (said to have passed at 2 years old)
Possibly stillborn
Mathilde, Ludwig, Heinrich and Emilie all came to Canada but no records connecting Mathilde with her father Wilhelm.
