France (surname) families

A gentleman with the surname FRANCE contacted me in March 2013 requesting information.  He suspects he is part of the FRANTZ family tree.  I began research on Ancestry.com because (frankly) I did not have his lineage in my book.  At this date (Mar. 9, 2013) I have not matched his family to ours.  However, I have spent days working with the FRANCE surnames in Ancestry.com and have added many to the Lorraine Frantz family tree (on Ancestry).  As is always the best course of action, I started with the known and built thereon.  I started with Michael Frantz/France (born in Botetourt Co., Virginia) FF-KK, Vol. 1, pp. 54, 69; died in Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky; married Elizabeth GISH.  (At this hour, 12 noon, I can only marvel at the growing number of descendants that may not know their awesome FRANTZ ancestry.)  ~~ Please contact me with additions and corrections.

A curious bit of trivia: Today (Tues. March 19, 2013, I only have eighty-nine (89) FRANTZ names in my Ancestry database.  (Time and energy focused on FRANCE families.)


More trivia: Today (Tues. Feb. 24, 2015 @ 8:00 PM) I have one-thousand-nine-hundred-seventy-five (1975) Frantz, and collateral lines, in my Ancestry database. There are two-hundred-eighty-nine (289) with Frantz surname.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I have a tiger by the tail and can't let go!!  (Tues. Mar. 19, 2013) There are at least two "trees" listed as "France Family Tree" (on Ancestry.com) that you might like to explore.  I found one married couple that each have the France surname.  I haven't been able to make the connection with second France family but--with time--I'll document that family, too.  (Working with the FRANCE surname is a challenge!!)


Another "France Family Tree" discovered about midnight March 20th, 2013.  It appears that most spelled their name FRANCIS.  There are FRANCE and FRANCIS in the same family. Names, and locations, lead me to believe they are not connected to the FRANTZ families (that I am familiar with).


The FRANCE family in Overton, Tennessee, are also connected with LOOPER and NORROD.  I've found them on adjoining properties in the several Census.  I haven't connected Henry Tenn France, or his descendants, with the FRANTZ families.
