THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO CHRONICLE THE ARTZ FAMILY FROM THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA. PART OF MY INTEREST IN THIS PROJECT CAME FROM MY GREAT AUNT,SYDNEY ARTZ. SHE WROTE A GENEALOGY ON HER ANCESTORS IN THE PRIEST-HAMRICK LINE, AND I HAVE ADDED MY RESEARCH TO HERS RESULTING IN THIS PROJECT. THIS IS AN ONGOING WORK, AND HOPEFULLY MORE CAN BE ADDED. THE FAMILY FIRST APPEARED IN ALSACE, FRANCE, ALTHOUGH IT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE IN GERMANY AT THE TIME. THE FIRST KNOWN ARTZ IN THIS LINE TO ARRIVE IN THE U.S. WAS JOHANNES ARTZ IN 1732. THEY ARRIVED ON THE SHIP "ADVENTURE", TRAVELING FROM ROTTERDAM.ANY CORRECTIONS THAT MAY BE NEEDED WILL BE CHEERFULLY ACCEPTED. HOPEFULLY THIS BENEFIT OTHER RESEARCHER ALONG THE WAY.
