Hartzell Forbes Letters

A collection of 12 letters exchanged between Mary Forbes and Sarah M Hartzell, between November of 1934 and August of 1940. Forbes and Hartzell were researching genealogy for their books, at that time. They were made aware of each other by the National Association of Hartzells, of which Sarah was the secretary. The letters begin with an inquiry by Forbes about the Brotzman-Hartzell connection.

• The resulting book by Forbes was: Descendants of Johan Frederick Brotzman and Maria Barbara Brotzman : who arrived in America with their family October 28, 1738, on the ship Bilander Thistle

• The resulting book by Sarah Hartzell was: Sarah Hartzell Manuscript.
