"Why Write a Book on the Strawn Family"

Curt Frederick Strawn-Miller is the 6th great grandson of Lancelot Strawn. He was born in Westchester County, New York. In 1952 Curt's father Joseph David Strawn, Jr. was divorced from his wife Florence Mary (Feldt) Strawn. In 1956 Curt's mother married Albert Miller and in October of 1957 Albert Miller made the decision to adopt Curt Frederick Strawn and thus changed his name from Strawn to Miller.

Curt and Bonnie Maria (Miller) married in January of 1993. Curt found out quickly that Bonnie's passion was genealogy. What especially peaked her interest was that Curt and she had the same last name. Curt's father (Joseph David Strawn, Jr.) had died when Curt was only 23 years old.

When Bonnie started tracking down the Strawn family she had no idea what a rich family heritage they possessed. Oh, yes and by the way Bonnie and Curt are related! No, not by blood but by the marriage of the Mary Buckman Cooper line (who married Lancelot Strawn) and Bonnie's Peregoy line of Baltimore Co, MD.

Curt's direct line of descent is: Lancelot, Jacob, Isaiah, Jeremiah, David, Herman, Joseph Sr, Joseph Jr and Curt.
