Doraine, There are several spellings of the name: Froehlich, Frahlig, Frahlic and Froelich. The descendants evidently do not know the name of John's father because they have written a history for our local family book and they do not name him. John's family came from Brienne, Germany, which is near Frankfurt. John was a wine maker and continued to make wine in this country. According to their history, the family came to America and two weeks later, a daughter Matilda was born February 22, 1874. We know of two of her sisters, Lizabeth and Barbara who were married to gentlemen of German heritage. According to one history, their mother was Katharina. These families are all well thought of in this community. They first settled in Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio, and then came to Georgetown, Scott County, Kentucky. They must have like the name Georgetown. It is not likely that this John is a son of your ancestor, but it would be great if we could make the connection. I am not a descendant, just married into one of the families. I will make a copy of your letter and my response and see what the others have to say.
