About John Denner

Hello, My name is John Denner and this is my Official Website “All Things Denner”  here is a little background information about me.

I was born in the great State of Connecticut where I received my degree in Marketing at the University of Hartford, CT.  Today I live in Redwood City on the San Francisco Peninsula in Northern California’s Bay Area, approximately 27 miles south of San Francisco, and 24 miles northwest of San Jose.  I have always felt the desire to trace the origin of my last name. This is why I decided to create a website about All Things Denner. Of course there are books, websites and discussion groups online dedicated to genealogy, which is the study of one’s family history. But I wanted to create something online dedicated entirely to the Denner Name. Once you begin any genealogical research, you will come to realize that your surname has its own unique history, and that’s exactly what I discovered when I began my personal journey.
