Peter and Toni,
My branch of the Spatz family is from Illinois. I'm descended from Joel (or possibly named Joseph) Spatz who I believe was born in Lower Mahony, Northumberland PA in 1849 and died in Illinois in 1913. He married Amelia Miller in Illinois and had three children, Frank, John (known as Jack, who was my grandfather) and Myrtle. He had a first marriage before Amelia, but I don't know her name. I think that marriage produced at least three children, Liz, Kate and Ed. I believe Ed lived in Kankakee, Ill., and had one son. I believe that Kate or Liz remained in the Polo, Ill., area.
I also believe it's possible that Joel was descended from the family in Peter's message, but that's not clear yet. Some records, have him descended from Sebastian Spat, but there appears to be some doubt about their accuracy.
Joel had a brother named Ben. The Mormon records show Joel's parents as Lydia Hepner and Johannes A or Monty Spatz. Again, I'm not sure of their accuracy.
Any connections here?
