Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2532 Surname: RITZ, WISE ------------------------- My gr. gr. gr. grandfather, Solomon RITZ, b. ca 1785, married in Washington Co., MD. to Mary WISE on 17 oct. 1808. Both died young leaving 3 orphans. Searching for parents of Solomon. Suspect they were from PA. and had crossed over the state line. Anyone with RITZ's in the southern area of PA. near MD. state line might you have lost a Solomon? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Carolyn at the e-mail address of: DavidOF@wesnet.com
