Excellent site and I enjoyed perusing it. You surely have put a lot of time and effort into it. FTM works fine for compiling our Koontz tree (of an unrelated species) and it is interesting to see your final outcome.

Comments:Thank you for your posting. FYI. You are a decendent of
John Kuntz, who came to America in 1690. He was a German
Baptist preacher (Annabaptist), who came here to escape
religious persecution. I have been told on several
occasions that the German Baptists are of Jewish descent.
I have even met a man named ML Koontz, who is Jewish.FYI...

My father was raised in the Church of the Bretheren
(Annabaptist) and I am a United Methodist affiliated
Christian.

John Kuntz, became John Koontz and settled in what is now
Page County, VA.

If you weren't aware of this, then I hope that this helps.
Aman named Lowell Koontz published a book on our family
back in the 1970's.

Comments:Thanks for sharing your family research.

I am not as organized as you, but have received bits and
pieces from other relatives and will look to enetually
piece it together.

The farthest back on the Koontz side that I have any notes
on is James Koontz, born Sep 18, 1818 in Virginia and died
April 13, 1878. James was married to Harriet Harrison,
direct descedent of William Henry Harrison. Harriet dates
are b. 6-27-1822 and d. 12-3-1892.

Their son, James H Koontz, was my great, great
grandfather. He was was born 10-17-1846 in Putman County
West Virginia, the fourth of eleven children. James H
married Sofia Jane Lee, who was the granddaughter of
William Henry Lee and Rebecca Sewell, and they moved to the
area first around Champaign, Il, and then to Shelby County
Illinois.

James and Sofia had ten children, of which my grand father
Bruce, was the 6th child. The names, that I have, in
decending order, are - Laura, John, Frank, Jacob, Bert,
Bruce, Emma, Alta, Jennie, and Lucy.

Bruce married Nettie Hoagland and had eight children -
Bernice, Geneva, William, Wesley, Gwen, Mildred, Verna, and
Earl.

My father is Earl, and he was the only male to have a son.
I have two sons, Zachary and Nicholas.
Do not know if any of this ties to yours, but let me know.

Again, good luck on your website.
