Paternal Grandfather’s branch (Stancil)
Kermit Stancil, Avery’s great-grandfather, was first in the line of four Kermit Stancil’s beginning in 1910. The entire family can be traced back to Johnston County, North Carolina, particularly their farms in Kenly. Avery’s dad, Johnathan, was named for his two great grandparents, John Archie Stanci and Nathan Jackson.
John Archie Stancil + Pinettie Edwards, Nathan Jackson + Martha Eatman
Maternal Grandfather’s branch (Ernisse)
Third great grandfather, Marinus Ernisse was born on Dec 13th, 1826 in the Netherlands. At some point, he and his wife moved to South Dakota but otherwise the Ernisse/Radenslaben line is linked to South Dakota, Iowa (Crescent), Ashland, and Lincoln, Nebraska where Avery’s great grandparents lived on K Street.

Paternal Grandmother’s branch (Game)
The Game family has long roots in Johnston County, particularly in Princeton, North Carolina along their namesake, Woodard Road. They farmed tobacco primarily and the family cemetery can be found under the magnolia trees at the still-working farm.

Maternal Grandmothers’s branch (Becker)
The entire line of maternal grandparents were born in Russia in between 1886 and 1893, all migrating to the United States. The entire line links back to Saratov, Russia, on the Volga River where the community was built as a fort in 1590 to protect from Nomadic raiders. However, the Strackbein’s were associated with an area called Schilling, a village near Saratov. It seems all were part of the “Volga Germans” and they settled in what is known as the German-Russian Bottoms in Lincoln, Nebraska.
