Hi, thanks for your links concerning my search for Johann Kleiner from Munsterberg.  I’ve look through all the links at least twice, but unfortunately I didn’t find my 3x grandfather or other ancestors.
However, the opening paragraphs about Silesia were interesting, and I learned more about the area. Thanks again for the help.

I’m looking for my 3x great grandfather, Johann Gottlieb Kleiner, a cabinetmaker, born about 1807 and died sometime after Nov 1876.  His wife was Franciska Klose, who was born about 1814 and died before Nov 1876.  The Kleiner  family lived in Muensterberg, Frankenstein, Prussia at the time.
The couple had two children that I know of.  A son, Heinrich Gustav Kleiner, (from whom I’m descended) on Sept 6, 1834 in Bernsdorf, Prussia? and died on April 7, 1889 in Breslau.  Also a daughter, Ernestine Wilhelmine Kleiner,  born Sept 17, 1836 in Munsterberg, Prussia and died Nov 11, 1876 in Munsterberg.
I’ve tried, Ancestry, Family Search, German genealogy groups on FB, and Archion.
Thank you for any help.

I went back and reread all the info the genealogist send me 6 years ago, and I understand why I’ve been confused.  A couple of things I missed are the father of George 1790 was James Renwick of Middleburn, and I agree that the dates don’t work for the Jane Anderson to be the mother.  You named the correct children of James and an unknown wife, Jean Anderson.

The expert suggested that the parents of George might be might be William Renwick and Margaret Cessford, married at Hobkirk on 20 May 1733 but I haven’t looked at this yet.

Who is the Mary you mentioned?  I’ve never found her.

I’m back!  I’ve been rechecking my ancestors, and I think there’s an error concerning the children of William Renwick 1744 and Janet Glendinning.  I don’t know if you have the time though?

Good question and I’m trying to answer it.  Both Ancestry and FamilySearch have William 1744 married to Janet Glendinning but I’m rechecking things.  Birth of William 1744 is uploaded.
