David,

Not sure if you're still out there or will read this but Samuel Charles Bacon was also my father. He passed away last December. I guess that makes us siblings. I know nothing of you or any of your brothers or sisters really but feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to talk about him.

Russell Mortz, Phillip Walker Mortz, Indiana, Frances Everman

Dancing_w_Ghosts — 2011-03-05 21:20:53Z

My father's name was Phillip Edward Walker (22 Dec 1933- 4 Jan 1971)... or so I thought. I was concerned because I could not find his birth certificate but I went full throttle to research the Walkers. Went back 18 generation on a well sourced tree. Been researching the Walkers seriously for 3 years.

Well I should have been more diligent closer to home. I finally ordered my father's SSA application and was floored to find out he was born Phillip Mortz. His father was listed as Russel Mortz.

My grandmother was Frances Lucile Everman (1914-1981) she was born in Kentucky but raised in Indiana. She married Edmund Eugene Walker in 1945 after living with him for a time.

I know nothing at all about Russell or this family. I am just starting to research.If you know anything at all about this man who would be my grandfather, please contact Debbra Walker at dancingwghosts@gmail

brookemarie27 — 2011-03-04 06:43:27Z

My mother has done so much research about our Mortz history. She has sooo much information if anyone has facebook she is on there http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=100000691.... I know she went back into 1800's not sure about when but when John Moritz moved here from Germany in the late 1800's it was Moritz then in the early 1900's the name changed to Mortz. Putting this family tree togather has been such a puzzle to us. My mom is Valerie "Mortz" Rogers and we are from Kokomo, Indiana. My mothers father is Don Mortz. His siblings are Viola, Susan, james, and Duke.

Re: John Richard Mortz

brookemarie27 — 2011-03-04 06:29:16Z

When our family the Mortz's moved here from Germany there name was Moritz but they changed it to Mortz. John Moritz came over and his name was Moritz but it changed to Mortz in the early 1900's. Any questions email me at brookemarie27@hotmail.com

Re: nellie mortz

brookemarie27 — 2011-03-04 06:11:48Z

Re: Mary Mortz Kokomo Indiana

brookemarie27 — 2011-03-04 06:03:01Z

My name is Brooke and my mother is Valerie Mortz. Her father is Don Mortz which is the brother to Viola, Susan, Duke, and James. We are from Kokomo and I was wondering so, we are related??? Email me at brookemarie27@hotmail.com I am interested in my family history.

Mary Mortz Kokomo Indiana

2000-10-25 17:45:13Z

any info on Mary Mortz or her children????
she was my Grandmother,changed her name from Bacon to Mortz after my Father Samuel Charles Bacon was born,she passed away in Kokomo Indiana around the year 1988. I remember the names Viola, Susan,, Daniel as names of my Fathers brothers and sisters,and believe some are still living in or around the Kokomo area to this day,I do not believe they all share either the Mortz OR the Bacon
surnames...fuzzy stuff to me, I learned early on in life not to bring this subject up
as it was a source of discomfort to us ALL when I would,which makes this site so interesting to me now....anything click with the MORTZES here?????

Answers Finally?

2000-07-10 20:12:11Z

Hey there! Just got on here tonight and I am really amazed at all the info on the family!
I heard before that we were part Cherokee. Did the Gov swipe land from our ansestors? Figures. So "Mortz" is French? So where did the "German - Dutch" connection go that I was always told about. Was the Cherokee on Beulah's side then? Are there any more pictures of John Richard Mortz ans Beulah (Sisk) Mortz around?
This is great because the name and it's origan has always been a mystery to me.
Cherokee is cool though. Maybe we are entitled to a grant under the 1979 Indian Civil Right's Act. I am interested in the indian stuff because I have indian blood(Abenaki) on the other side of my family too.
Anyway hello to all of you. and thanks for the info.

Cuz Ken

Jessie Oliver

2000-06-14 19:32:23Z

I just spoke to jessie Oliver on the phone, he said he really didn't know anything much about the Mortz family. He said he did know that his granmother had been married a few times and that his mother was a half sister to the Mortz children but didn't know or remember who was his real grandfather. He did give me the phone number of Minnie's daughter Mammie she know lives in LasVegas and I was not able to get an answer tonight will try again tomorrow. I did ask him about the paper work on the mmoney from Indiana and he said he didn't know anything about it either.

Getting to Know Family After All These Years

2000-06-13 20:57:51Z

I would just like to say that I have been searching for my family for about 10 years now. I have found more family in the last year than I ever dreamed I would find. I would like to thank you all for allowing me to being a part of your lives. If I have any information you can use I would love to share it with you. I hope one day to meet all of you. Until then let's keep searching...

Lillie

2000-06-13 19:42:01Z

If I remember what grandmother said correctly. Lillie was either a green or a kelly. greatgrand mother had been married about 5 times. She was married to mortz twice first and last. She was also married a green and a kelly and a claver. I think grandfather adopted Lilli.

Mortz Information

2000-06-13 15:29:53Z

I just spoke to my grandmother Attis Sue (Mortz) York. she said her father John Richard Mortz had a sister named Elenora, Minnie and a half sister Lillie. If Lillie was a half sister who was her mother???She said Lillie lived in Indiana.

Mortz Family

2000-06-13 14:55:22Z

Cousins: I have very little on Minnie Or Lillie. Grandmother lost touch with them after her kids got older. All I really know is that they were Indians and that Lillie had or her son Jessie had the records of when our Indian grandfather sold his land to Indiana under false pretences.
