About the Author:

Marvin Lautzenheiser was born in 1929 in Ohio farm country on the eve of the great depression. The depression wiped out family finances and the possibilities of a normal college education. After marriage, Marvin worked full time in a machine shop while majoring in mathematics as a full time student at Mount Union College. At the same time, his family of three children were born. After college, Marvin became a Special Agent in the FBI. Following the FBI years, he pioneered in the use of computers in evaluating nuclear war scenarios for the U.S. military. After 18 years of running his own small computer company, he worked in computer memory system design where he holds patents on basic disk buffering procedures. He is retired and lives in Springfield Virginia.

Book Review:

This book has three major sections: The first section relates Marvin Lautzenheiser's family and ancestors to some historical events occurring during their lives. All the ancestors of Marvin's grandparents emigrated at vastly different times, but from the same area of Germany. In that area, a small town named Lautzenhausen still exists a short distance west of Frankfort. The second section summarizes the genealogy of Marvin's grandparents. The third section describes the families of his grandparents, his parents, his siblings, and the first 18 years of Marvin's life. A bit of philosophy is mixed with a modest amount of humor. Intended mostly for family interest, but some surprising tidbits for others, also.
