Stanley / Channell Lindquist / Stomp Researchers Resources Archives Cemeteries Reunions	UTZes Hans Georg Utz (1683-1766) Hans Jacob Utz (1704-c1775) Heinrick Jacob Utz (c1740-c1789) Anna Elizabeth Utz (1772-1862) Our Utz ancestors can be found in the Province of Alsace in the 17th century. It appears that they emigrated through Rotterdam into the Port of Philadelphia in 1733. From Pennsylvania, they appear to have moved south into Carroll County, Maryland with some branches continuing into Shenandoah County, Virginia, and finally into Indiana. Much of the preliminary Utz family research was compiled by Jack Ott. I'm hoping that we're related to the potato chip people! The Utz company (aka Utz Quality Foods, Inc.) of Hanover, Pennsylvania was founded in 1921 by William D. Utz and his wife Salie. Researchers Jack Ott Diary 21 Feb 2005, I visited the old St. David's Lutheran Church in Hanover, Pennsylvania. I discovered the 'new' one first and had to be directed to the old church, which is now a United Church of Christ. Found 'many' Utz tombstones, including my 5th great grandmother 'Elisabeth Utz'. Many of the old 18th cent. German stones were in excellent condition while others were worn, lichen-covered, and generally unreadable.	Hans Jacob Utz (15794) was born in 1704/5 at Mietesheim, Alsace.
