Family Group Sheet for Evelyn Rosemary Frantz

Below, see the information she collected for resource material. Her research regarding her ancestor Baltzar Frantz can be found on another “shelf” of this library. (Consider the following a “drawer” full of information from a file cabinet?!) Lorraine Frantz Edwards respects Rosemary’s dedication to research, and collection, of data regarding the Frantz family and collateral lines. All this information but difficult to read her handwriting.

Unquestionably, duplicates (but every piece of paper merits documentation)

Lancaster County Deeds  CORRECTION:  Evelyn Rosemary Frantz typewriter and not Ruth Frantz Rhinehart as previously spectulated.

Ruth Frantz Rhinehart research appears throughout Rosemary’s files. On Sunday afternoon, 30 Apr 2017, Lorraine visited Ancestry.com looking for (possible) death record. Then a search on Ancestry… and the result is documented in a newly created document. FYI: Ruth Evangeline Frantz, b. 19 Apr 1920, d. 31 May 1999.  ~~ Ruth Frantz Rhinehart challenge  ~~ Lorraine’s note regarding Manor John Frantz  ~~ Lorraine’s comment with crumpled piece of paper in Evelyn Rosemary Frantz files

Sight for sore eyes in Evelyn Rosemary Frantz files  At 11:00 AM, 1 May 2017, on the sixth day of scanning, Lorraine Frantz Edwards found this researched material with beautiful handwriting. A “sight for sore eyes” because Rosemary’s scribbled notes were (are) difficult to read. This link is an excerpt from the file (above) listed as Frans and France in Virginia, with an additional note “misc.”
