A Tener History . . .

TENER (TENNEUR) Family – tracing from Picardy in France to Co. Tyrone in Ireland. (NOTE: It is “believed” that this part of the ‘family history’, which has been circulated among the Tener family for years and years, is the work of Gustave Anjou. Over the past many years Anjou has been debunked for a fraud and as a convicted forger who served time in an European prison before coming to America where he began a ‘paper mill’ producing phony family histories for years – and he was very profitable at it.) The Tener family history book printed in 1949 credits the history of the family in France to Anjou.
