If you have information on the following families, I would like to hear from you. My ancestor is Daniel Mertz/Martz and I believe he is related to one of these families. John David Mertz and his wife Veronica Schneider emigrated from Alsace in 1733 and settled in Longswamp Township, Berks County, PA John Henry Mertz and his wife Anna Maria Rosemann came to America in 1737. He gave the land for the founding of the Lutheran Church in Dryville, Rockland Township, Berks County, PA known as Mertz Church. Johannes Mertz came to America in 1747 and settled near Mertz Church in Rockland Township and later in Maxatawney and Oley Townships all in Berks County, PA. He married Rosina Hase on 24 May 1756.
