Hello;
Ihave my Butz ancestors back to my 6 greats grandfather Johannes Butz orn between 1680 & 1698. He supposedly lived in Kromanenberg, in the Duchy of Berg. He and his son Peter born in 1718 came to America in 1738 on the ship the Charming Nancy and settled in Pennsylvania, United States of America.
I have a lot on the son Peter in his life in America. I have exchanged a lot of information with his descendants, here in America. No one knows anything about their life in Germany. We do not know Johannes wife's name or if children other then a daughter Catherine and the son Peter.
Not a lot is know for certain about Catherine, even though she also came to America about the same time.
All of the Butz descendants, whom I exchange information with and I would be thrilled to discover some link to finding information on Johannes and Peter before they came to America.
I have seen other people looking for Sebastion Butz, not yours though. These were Sebastions who came to America.
I have not found a link from my Butz line to any Sebastians. It is not a name found in my genealogy. At least not so far.
If you find anything back farther then Sebastian that might link to my Butz, please let me know.
