There are a lot of people with WERT/WIRT/WIRTH information I believe would be more than willing to share their works with you. For instance, Wm. Henry Egle wrote a lot about them, a few notes from his writings: "John Adam Wirt, along with, possibly brothers Phillip Ludwig and John Jacob, arrived on the Mascliffe-Galley from Germania via Rotterdam. Then settled in Montgomery County, then Berks County, later broken off into Lebanon, Dauphin, etc." "John Adam Wirt was born in 1727, died in 1806. Had a son John Adam Wirth born December 18, 1755, baptized December 25, 1755." A John Adam Wirth married August 3, 1755 Eva Elizabetha Schnug (Born 1730) by Rev. John Casper Stoever (now HE was a really traveling minister!) in Lebanon, PA." "John Adam Wirth had issue, one being a son John Adam Wirth who left Dauphin County for Virginia, raised a large family, but the records are forever lost." Quotes from Wm. H. Egle's "Notes and Queries", Family Tree Maker's CD #19. > Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)
