They, too, immigrated to Buffalo, New York where my great grandfather, Lawrence was born in 1834. He and his brothers all named their sons George, Joseph, Henry as if they were ancestral names. These Lambrix families all moved to the Detroit area, then to Grand Rapids, and finally my family line moved to Oceana--Hart and Pentwater area. There are lots of Lambrix families in this area.
