Henss Family
Related Family Branches
Our Henss Family is descended from Iowa German, Mennonite and Amish settlers as well as Swedish and Norwegian innkeepers and farmers. 
The Henss branch of our family arrived in Henry County, Iowa from Germany in the mid-1850s. Our Johansson family branch arrived in the Chicago area of Illinois in the early 1900s.
Most of our Henss’ have their roots in Germany, Switzerland, France and the UK. The Johanssons, as you might guess, are primarily rooted in Scandinavia.
We are still discovering and learning about our family and our roots. If you have any information to share, please use our contact page to let us know.
