Hi list. I am brand new to this list. I am looking for my husband's
great-grandmother, who was born in Emerson, Pa., on March 15, 1862. Her
name was Anna Mary LENTZ. She married Hans Michael GREITL on Sept. 27,
1880, in Pittsburgh, Pa. Michael was from Munich, Bavaria, Germany, and was
of the Catholic religion. Apparently, Anna was Lutheran. They had 11 or 12
children, one stillborn. The first 3 were born in Scottsdale, Pa. The rest
of the their children were born in Barlow, N.D., where they moved sometime
in the early 1880s. Could anyone give me any background as to Anna Mary's
family roots? Where is Emerson, Pa? We cannot find it on any maps. I have
also been told that Mary, as she went by, had many relatives in not only
Pennsylvania, but Ohio as well. Thanks for any help we can receive. Where
can we get marriage certificate?
