Hi Mary, Yes, I have this. The G. W. REITZ is George Washington REITZ. He's not in my branch. There is something about him on Ancestry.com. If you do a general search he will come up on the trees people submit. Margaret REITZ is Margaretha (REBUCK) REITZ, wife of George REITZ. They were parents of Godfrey (1821-1895). Do you need the data on Margaret and George? I'm not sure who the other REITZes are that are over 70. I don't have Patricia's books, but I do have a few of the pages from them.
