BAETZ, BETZ, ERHART, FASSNACHT, GLUNZ, JAUCH, REDLEIN, REIHL, SCHMIDT posted by Jillaine Smith on Thursday, June 10, 1999

All of the above surnames came from the Wurttemberg region of Germany (with the possible exception of Jauch, who may have come from Switzerland), and emigrated to Buffalo somewhere around 1840-1850. Elisabeth Betz (b.1820) married Leonhard Schmidt (b. 1818) in Buffalo. Their son Philip Leonhard Schmidt (b. 1851) married Elizabeth Fassnacht (b. 1852), daughter of Johannes Fassnacht (b. 1822) and Regina Erhart (b. 1823-1834) who married on the ship from Altensteig, Germany. P.L. Schmidt's son, John Patrick Smith (nee Schmidt 1882), married Paulina Jauch (b.1884), daughter of Ludwig/Louis Jauch (b. 1839) and Paulina Glunz (b. 1847) I'm most interested in relatives of Elisabeth Betz (who we're convinced is related to a Heinrich Baetz and a Phillip Betz), as well as the Schmidt and Fassnacht lines. Thank you.
