While on the topic of FRANTZ, BALLIET, SAGER, etc, has anyone heard of the Rev. Emmanuel Frontz [sic]? I have this baptismal record for a 3rd ggrandfather: "John Scheirer was baptized by Rev. Emanuel Frontz. Sponsors were Nicholas Seager and Eva Balliet." Yet, I've never seen any documentation of the minister or his records.
