  • Added by: Matthew Wengerd on March 25, 2010

All were merged into the last Matheus - as seemed the best profiles - this then put Matheus as being his own father, of which I entered an unknown brother for Hans his father made him a son of the uknown brother - thus divorcing him from being his own father and then merging the unknown brother with Hams and the 2 Matheus profiles together to make one -

More research as to the father/son relation ship of Mathesu & Micheal Frantz I will have to be done as this is as data entered



Matheus was a Mennonite minister who endured persecution and imprisonment in Bern, Switzerland. When he was released, he and his family immigrated to the Palatinate of Germany, where the children were reared. The three boys immigrated from the Palatinate to Pennsylvania, Michael and Balser to Cocalico Twp., Lancaster Co., and Christian to Philadelphia.
