Re: SCHAERTZER John Henry; DEU>USA; 1783-1854 Barbara: Try writing to the local church: Evangelisches Pfarramt Graefenberg bei Nuernberg Germany: Address your letter to the local minister(I assumed your ancestors were protestants, if not change the word "Evangelisches to Katholisches" in the above address) and give him all the information you have. I think, that your John Henry translates into JOHANNES or JOHANN HEINRICH and Fredrick into FRIEDRICH. Good Luck Roger M.
