Hi, my great grandparents were Henry Retz and Eva Elisabeth Braun. Their daughter
Wilhelmina Fredika Retz was my grandmother. Her son Fredrik Johannes Hendriks was my
father. Our family migrated from Germany to Velsen in Holland, then to Amsterdam, and
then my father's branch of the family to Canada, where I was born.
I found the following link showing the genealogy of Johann Georg Retz and Maria Smidtt
which you might find interesting. I did not put it together, another distant cousin
did, but I found it interesting! Hope you do too!

If this link doesn't work, just Google Johann Georg Retz. Several will come up,
but if you look at them all, you'll find the one who was married to Maria Smidtt and
was from Westernach, which is near Waldenburg.
