Gerre After reading your last a-mail, I thought It was time to contact you even though it is a long-shot!!! My Michael Lutz (b.1685/89 Stuttgard, Wurttemberg, Germany) of Northampton Co, PA was m. to Anna Margaret Ingland (d.1794) d/o George Ulrich Ingland/England/Engard/Englard/Engler. They would have m. before coming to this country. Have you even come upon them or could this be a starting place for you to look for your family? Thanks. Gloria C.
