Summary
A Chronological Streaming of the Life of Conrad Foutz was written to clarify the mystery of Foutz lineage. Conrad Foutz was undeniable, but many researchers had overlooked him or excluded him from their research. John Scott Davenport PhD does a wonderful job of creating a timeline of Conrad Foutz's life and providing a documented answer to the questions asked by Foutz family members. The book's introduction is actually a letter by Certified Genealogist Willard Heiss not only endorsing the work but praising Mr Davenport for tackling such a difficult case. Variant spellings are used, when necessary, and include Pfatz, Fouts, Foos and more. [from Amazon]
