I'm occasionally working on gathering data about individuals born with the surname Kitz (not Kits or Kitsz) since approx. 1800 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Are you doing similar work in your area or country and do you have data that may be useful to me? Please send it to John.Kitz-gen (at) xs4all.nl.
