Franz
Joseph Anton Franz was Amelia Franz Bumen's father. He married Maria
Ana Merklin. The Bumens were Catholic and Gottlieb studied to be a
priest. He had a large library of books and they are located today
in the preservation room of Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana.

Maria Ann Merklin...January 1800...
It lists the birthplace of her mother as Baden
Germany, but does not list the name of her mother.
Here is a Franz family record sheet that was mailed
to me in the 1980's:
