FRANTZ FAMILIES - KITH & KIN

Ready for publication later this year: Frantz Families - Kith & Kin, compiled by Dore M. Frantz, Sr., Lowell H. Beachler, Hazel Frantz Turner, Lorraine Frantz Edwards, and dozens more. Collectively, more than one hundred years spent on Frantz-family research! Edited by Lorraine Frantz Edwards, the material is presented in four volumes of approximately 500 pages each.

Volume One contains the first three generations of Descendants of Iirunitrant Michael Frantz, immigrant Christian Frantz, immigrant Baltzar Frantz plus many early families that married Frantz men and women. Collateral lines include Flora/Flory, Garst, Houtz, Neher, Royer, Wenger and Zug.

Volume Two contains all the known Descendants of Daniel Frantz. Son of Miami Frantz II. Volume Three contains all the known De...t=ndantz of David Frantz. Son of .14;fictael Frantz Ii. Volume Four contains all the known Descendants of Christian Frantz, Michael Frantz Jr., and Peter Frantz, Sons of Michael Frantz II. Male and female lines are traced to the present in volumes' two, three and four. Information on the other siblings is found in volume one. Popular collateral line surnames (not mentioned above) include: Arnold, Barnhart, Bashor, Bauman, Beaclaler, Blickenstaff, Boyd, Blocher, Brovont, Brubaker, Cri11, Cripe, Crist, Denlinger, Eikenberry, Filbrun, Funderberg, Garber, Grisso, Hamm, Heaston, Heck, Hirt, Hufford, Karns, King, Kinzie, Landes, Levy, Metzger, Miller, Montel, Neff, Ohmart, Peters, Shoup, Shull, Skiles, Snell, Studebaker, Tridle, Ulery, Vaniman, Wagoner and Yoder.

Each volume contains biographical sketches, obituary notices and other commentary; each has a complete index. A unique feature found in the books: Cousin Charts." Over 200 graphs trace cousin marriages back to their common ancestor.

Every family with roots in the German Baptist Brethren and Church of the Brethren will want this four volume set (approximately 2000 pages). In order to keep the cost as reasonable as possible the publisher and the editor need as many pre-publication orders as possible. Monies received will go into a trust account and each individual will receive a receipt. If too few orders are received, money will be refunded.

This is an honest-to-goodness genealogy book. This is not one of those "scans' family surname books that contains hundreds of names and addresses of individuals named Frantz. References can be furnished upon request; a sample of the material is available.

Lorraine Frantz Edwards is the author of many stories and articles that have appeared in Fellowship of Brethren Genealogists Newsletter and Mennonite Family History. She co-authored the 262 page book LaVerne (CA) Evergreen Cemetery Tombstone Inscriptions (still available for $20.00 postpaid). She has the distinction of being one of the few non-Mormon volunteers at her local L.D.S. Family History Center. She spends all her spare time on genealogy. She has over 20,000 Frantz and collateral families in her computer database. Her maiden name holds the greatest family interest but she has collected information on her other well-known relatives named Alderfer, Coffin, Frye, Moyer, and Showalter.
