Hello Ed!
Nice to hear from you. I am descended from the older brother of Otto, Johannes Frederick Schott. His son, Johan Philip, came to the US in the mid 1700's. Many of his descendants came to Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties in Ohio.
I have run across your Philip Schott and that line before, but I haven't kept any notes on it. I'll pay more attention in the future and forward anything that I might find.
If I find a proven descendant of Martin or Johan Schott (the medieval printers) would you be interested in taking a DNA test to see if our line came from them? For the easier test, a proven male in the direct line is required. I'm interested in this because a group including Metelin is written to have worked in Gutenberg's print shop in Mainz. That would be cool to know.
Let's keep in contact!
