I hear you! I've found RENTZ research in general to be frustrating at times - and at other tiimes extremely rewarding!

My paternal line actually descends from 2 RENTZ lines (Ebenezer, GA Salzburger line, and Colleton Co., SC line). With the help of fellow on-line researchers Rev. Pike Thomas and Billy RENTZ, my family was fortunate to discover the identity and SC burial place of my father's grandmother Mary RENTZ, and also her parents Jacob and Rebecca RENTZ. Also discovered the correct middle name of my great grandfather William Solomon RENTZ, thanks to my on-line research buddy Charlotte POLK McLeod and her excellent census skills. (Our family had always thought his middle name was Sullivan!) Have been able to take the George RENTZ (who married Catherine Majer) line all the way back to 1500's Germany through the help of Carolyn RENTZ, who actually visited Germany and found the original church records. (Carolyn's research actually throws new light on some of the excellent RENTZ research conducted by Mr. HIER's in the 1970's.) Such wonderful discoveries with the continuing help of like-minded friends certainly make it all worthwhile!

Alice, my great-great-grandparents were Isaac Oliver Polk and Ann Elizabeth Rentz. According to my records Isaac Oliver was the brother of your Susanna Georgianne Polk and Ann Elizabeth was the sister of your Aaron J Rentz (another of their siblings being Mary, great-great-grandmother of my friend Fay Rentz). I am very interested in any information you have on their Polk and Rentz parents, as well as further information on the rest of the family. Would you like to compare notes? I hope to hear from you - either in this forum or at my email address. Charlie <mcleodcharlie@hotmail.com>

Hi Diann,
What a wonderfully generous offer! I have some Bishop relatives from SC, but am not dead certain where. The Bishop I have is a Margaret Bishop, b 1762 unknown where, d. 1802 in ?Pendleton District. She married Abraham Mayfield, b 1760 unknown where, d. 1827 also in ?Pendleton District. Their son Austin Lewis Mayfield married Elizabeth McCoy and their daughter Elizabeth Mayfield married Levi A Reynolds and the next recorded child in that line was born in Alabama. Any help you could give with these names, even if it's look somewhere else would be greatly appreciated. You can e-mail me directly at annern4jc@yahoo.com. Thanks again!
Anne
