Re: Joseph Anthony Herburger Esq.
I am a descendent of Herman Mutz, apparently a friend of your great great grand father. There is a small cemetary in Elizabeth Town, NM.

Re: Joseph Anthony Herburger Esq.
I am also a descendant of Herman Mutz, and would love to be in touch with other descendants of this Mutz line. A sister is traveling in Germany soon, and I'd love to get info as to origins-looks like the area of Herbolzheim(sp?) Please reply asap! Thanks.

Re: Joseph Anthony Herburger Esq.
It is good to hear from a family member. Yes, my research has led to Herbolzheim in southwest Germany as being where Herman immagrated from. I also came across an article about a nearby town that had some Mutz's in the history, Ringsheim. It is nearby Herbolzheim. Since she is going, she my want to check out another possible family connection over there. There is a Mutz hotel over by Munich. I don't know if it would be a similar line.
Keep in touch.

Re: Joseph Anthony Herburger Esq.
Kody, Thanks for your reply. I will look into the Ringsheim possible connection.
Do you have any info about the original migration of Mutz's from Germany? Thanks again!
