Leland, last week I sent a private message to the project manager about John Frantz that she had listed as the son of Michael Frantz and Magdalena Zug. I directed her to my tree but I don’t know if she looked at it. That John Frantz was NOT the son of M & M. Now, today, she has the supposed wife of Michael Frantz and mother of Michael Frantz II. But plain as day, her sources were loaded with “unknown.” Things like that prompt me to create an image that is sure to attract attention.  FYI: There were researchers who did due diligence long before I came on the scene in the mid-1980s. Their research is well documented in Frantz Families–Kith & Kin (with sources). There was no information (known to me) with the name of Michael’s wife. The supposition was that she died during the voyage–supposition by all those scholarly Brethren devoted to documenting their very early itinerant preacher Michael Frantz (1687-1748). Leland, the early Brethren don’t get the recognition of Martin Luther, or Calvin, but Alexander Mack and Michael Frantz were part of the revolt against the Catholic Church.

Back to something I said last week: I don’t have time to document Frantz on WikiTree. I get the notifications when someone lists Frantz. Perhaps I should unsubscribe from WikiTree and Billion Graves because I’m getting two or three (sometimes more) notifications each day.

106 degrees on the balcony at 4:48 PM. Keeping cool, and I’ll climb another tree.
