Mary, I appreciate the Theiret information regarding Lizzie Theiret’s baptism in 1877. I believe her parents are John Michael Theiret b. 2 May 1838 in Germany, m. 1 Jan 1874 in Germantown, d. 6 Feb 1914 in Manchester, Carroll Co., MD and Mary Fritz b. 15 Apr 1851 somewhere in MD and d. 15 Mar 1908 in Manchester, Carroll Co., MD. Do you know if there would be marriage records for 1874 when Lizzie’s parents were married in Germantown? What about death records in Manchester? I don’ t know when Lizzie and Harvey Wirtz were married. My mother-in-law was Lizzie’s seventh child (Ruth Elizabeth Wirtz born 11 Feb 1909) so I would assume the marriage was in the 1890s. I don’t even know the birthdays for the other nine children. Any information anyone has on the Theiret family would be appreciated. Wayne
