An email from Bob Grimm in June 2007 said, in part, "I am the great-great grandson of Frederick Wirtz (brother of Martin Wirtz). I had the name of Frederick's parents and was sure he had to be related to Martin's family in Chicago. In contacting Martin's family, they did not have his parents' info. We then discovered a marriage record for Martin showing her was married in Reuth, Germany on March 9, 1847, and also showed his parents as Nicholas Wirtz and Anna Maria Becker, the same as parents I show for my Frederick, confirming Frederick and Martin were, in fact, brothers."
