Here are stored some documents and links to other sources of family history of the family of Michael Fritz, who emigrated from Germany in 1750. He settled in old Berkeley County, VA, on Opequon Creek and raised his family. Today's family is ever larger as we link up and discover our common roots.

Please e-mail me if you discover your ancestors here, or have a linking family history; we are always looking for more cousins all over the world.
