What is a name...
My name is Jane Haitz Vensland. My father's name is James Rudolph Haitz, of
in Ripley, Ohio. He married Ida
Minerva West on May 22, 1947. His father was Joseph Haitz born married to Henrietta Koewler on
October 27, 1902. Joseph was the son of Franziskus Xavier Heitz (later
changed to Francis X. Haitz) and Elizabeth Germann.
Haitz is a very common name and was used interchangeably with Heitz in parts of Germany. The Haitz family
that is chronicled in this site settled in Ripley, Brown County, Ohio. If you are a relative or
descendant of Franziskus Xavier Heitz, please email me. This is a html
index of the Haitz family tree descended from
Franziskus Xavier Heitz. I have recently added information about
Franziskus Xavier Heitz's son, John, my grandfather's brother's family.
Take a look, maybe you will find yourself in there!
