TRITT FAMILY HISTORY, VOLUME I

Tritt Family History
For Only $20.00 plus $7.00 shipping

After more than 30 years of research and preparation, Tritt Family Research published Volume I of Tritt Family History. This limited edition publication contains 191- 8.5 x 11 pages, with a full color hard bound cover. It features over 150 photos and illustrations, plus charts, maps, inventories, wills and family records.

This is the first documented published account of the history of the Tritt family in Europe and colonial America. The Tritt story in America began with the arrival of two immigrant brothers, Hans Peter Tritt and his younger brother, Christian, in 1739. This volume traces their origins from 1562 in Canton Bern, Switzerland, through the birth of their grandchildren in America.
