TRITT FAMILY HISTORY, VOLUME IV

Tritt Family History - Volume IV
For Only $40.00 plus $7.00 shipping

Volume IV presents the story of Joseph Tritt (1786-1873) of Ohio. Born in Pennsylvania like his father, Joseph was the adventurous one who decided to move west where the land was cheap and new opportunities awaited. In Ohio he speculated in land, and became involved in farming as well as milling. He raised a large family who perpetuated his line in Ohio and beyond.

It is with great pride that Tritt Family Research publishes its largest work to date, Volume IV of Tritt Family History. This is the first volume dedicated to a grandson of the immigrant Hans Peter Tritt, (see Volume I for more on the immigration of the brothers Hans Peter and Christian Tritt). At more than double the size of our previous volumes, this work contains an extensive compilation of the descendants of Joseph Tritt. We hope you will enjoy learning about his life, his descendants and his legacy that continues in the lives of his many descendants today.
