Family Trees

Gans / Ganß / Gantz / Gontz Family

This database primarily contains the Descendants of John Frederick Gantz (Johann Friedrich Gantz). However it also includes the descendants of George (Georg) Gantz (Ganß) and various other Gantz families that immigrated to Pennyslvania from Germany. I began this site in search for my Gontz (yes, notice the o instead of the a) ancestors and found that John Frederick Gantz who immigrated from Germany in 1774 as Friederich Gantz was the grandfather of the first Gontz (with an o) in my line.

I try to enter all Gantz that I come across so that I may help others in researching their Gantz line AND who knows they may actually have been related somehow back in the motherland!

Gruber / Gruver Family

This database currently starts with Peter Gruver (born: September 5th, 1833 and died: January 9th, 1904) who lived in York County, Pennsylvania. I hope to find his ancestors and expand on this family tree!
