History
Family history beginning with Rose and Jacob and continuing through the shirt generations.
Rose and Jacob at Pierz
The family tree starts with Jacob J. Girtz and Rose Medek Girtz. Jacob was born May 11, 1895 in Pierz, Rose was born January 24, 1899 in Pierz, and they married at St. Joseph Church on May 21, 1918.
The family history begins with this couple and follows their descendants through the shirt generations.
The white-shirt generation
Rose and Jacob's nineteen children are the white-shirt generation. The order begins with Verna Ann in 1919 and runs through Sharlet Jean in 1942.
Leo William Girtz, Sr. is one of those children. The app follows his household into the red-shirt generation, including Leo William Girtz, Jr.
Red, blue, silver, and gold
White shirts are Rose and Jacob's children; red, blue, silver, and gold continue the family line forward.
