Martz or Mertz family of Berks Co, where in Longswamp township, the first ancestor to come from Germany made a settlement. The name is perpetuated there by the town Mertztown, in Longswamp township, and the Mertz's Church, same section.

My Grandfather, Harry Wellington SHERIDAN, b. Oct/1888 in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne, Co., Pa received a postcard dated 1919 from a W. J. SHERIDAN, who was aboard the U.S.S. Madawaska at the time. The postcard was sent to Harry, who had moved from Pa to Detroit, MI around 1910. Until this postcard was recently found, I was never able to locate any other SHERIDAN family members other than the immediate family. Michael Mitchell SHERIDAN, b. abt. 1853 in Easton, Northampton Co. married Ella Jane GARRETT, b. 1862 in Weatherly, Carbon Co., PA. They had (3) children: Frances "Frank" b. 1889 *no children & Virginia, b. 1884. Michael Mitchell SHERIDAN's father was listed as Peter SHERIDAN on his death certificate & mother was "unknown". We do know that no other family (other than their 3 children) came to the Detroit, MI area with Michael & Ella. We also know that they frequently came back to Pa to visit family. Both Harry SHERIDAN & wife Gertrude LUCAS made trips back,to PA, mentioning Weatherly & Mauch Chunk. Looking forward to hearing from you.......... Sandy Lewis

Hi Karen--- What a great job you have done!!! Do you see a MADOUSE child buried in St. Joseph's? Parents were Harold and Genevieve MADOUSE. Supposedly the boy-child was born @1939 and died young. Also, do you have any SYPNIEWSKY people? That was Genevieve's maiden name. Thanks for checking. Debbie Lewis

Hello, After 6 months I have finally gotten my pictures scanned of the subject cemeteries. If anyone is interested I can check my files and see if one of your loved ones is buried there. I have not transcribed it yet but do plan to. I just don't know when I will get the time to do it. In the future if and when I go to Pennsylvania (Lansford, Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk (Jim Thorpe), Coaldale, etc) I can also try and take pictures there again. I would just need to know the cemetery you are interested in. There are many others surrounding the St. Joe's.
