RENZIEHAUSEN / RENCEHAUSEN / YARDLEY; HAN,DEU > USA or AUS; 1780-

Did I locate the origin of all RENZIEHAUSENs?

The earliest RENZIEHAUSEN in my ancestry lived about 1780 as foreman of
the local turners guild in Willershausen (today part of Kalefeld, county
Northeim, Lower Saxony). I know of some descendents emigrating to the US
and to Australia. 

I'm interested to find descendents of the RENZIEHAUSEN family.
Maybe the name was anglicized (to RENCEHAUSEN, RANCEHAUSEN or something
else).


Especially interested in 

relatives or descendants of

Fritz YARDLEY           b 1902 in Newark N.J.
                        (my family lost contact in WWI)

Friedrich RENZIEHAUSEN, b 1841 in Osnabru"ck, HAN, DEU
                        emigrated to Australia

and the reasons for the naming of

RENZIEHAUSEN Park (campus of a university in Pittsburgh, PA)

RENZIEHAUSEN Wildlife refuge in the Dakotas
