Hello All,

Been doing some research over the past year about the family name. Found some interesting things. Stiff trying to verify some but thought that putting this note out there might help. I am Joe, My father is John Joseph Jr., My Grandfather was John Joseph Sr. Deceased 1979 at 72. His sister was Peggy. and Cousins Of Edward. All New Jersey.

It seems this Sir name is all from the same line. Germany was Home. A fairly famous family, (prior to WW1) of Silversmiths. Did very intricate work. ( As i thought about it, it did make sense as my father and Grandfather seem opcessed with details at times.) The family settled mostly in the Iowa, Ohio, areas.

So it seems we are all related in one way or another.


Have a great day!

Joe Baatz 44 y/o New Jersey
