In the Related Links Section below is the last Frohnheiser / Fronheiser / Fronizer Book of 04/17/2003 in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 format. Unlike the online file, the book strictly pertains to the Frohnheiser / Fronheiser / Fronizer descendants lines and does not contain as many individuals. Right click on it with your mouse and select "Save Target As" to specify download location. The file is 2,323 KB and over 700 pages in length, plus a 42 page index. Email me for the password to download it and to open it. Note: The database at Rootsweb.com is more current than the book, but the book has over 100 pages of obituaries, births, wills, and marriage licenses by county and SSDI info.
