Thanks, Sharon for your email. You are a real Brown Countian. I have Sipes
and Adams folks as well as Wertz. However, I am researching only Wertz just
now. My Wertz came to Brown Co after she had married a Clevenger in Preble
Co, OH. I have been working with another Wertz researcher and have
established that Jacob Wertz was the son of Christian and Barbara Wertz. We
found the record of his birth in a Lehigh Co, PA church record and his
parents were named. All the other Wertz kids being baptised there were
Ulrich Wertz's grand children, so Jacob probably was to. We are working on
getting the baptismal records in hopes that Ulrich will be one of the
sponsors. There is always something more to look up. <g>
