This edition of ÒThe Genealogy of the MATTHIAS FRANTZ FAMILY of Berks County, PennsylvaniaÓ is an authorized reproduction of the Second Printing of the book.
To continue to make this family history available to future generations one of the last remaining copies in the possession of Richard Earl Frantz was put through destructive scanning to create the file reprinted here. Each page is actually a picture of the original page which may have water stains or other imperfections. You will see shadows of the page edge on some pages. These imperfections are NOT printing errors. They are all part and parcel of the effort to save this book for future generations.
