Census Records

Assessment of Taxables Greenville Twp Links to pages with Garlitz 1790 Bedford County PA (Included what would become Somerset County) Census Data. Text Files. Two Hendrey Garlits are listed. One of these, presumably, is the first Garlitz in the area, the one to which all our records are traced, known here as Christian I. Just 10 years later only one Henry Garlitz is listed in the Somerset County Census. Perhaps the other Henry lived in a township that remained within the old Bedford County. Or perhaps it was a mistake in the census. And yes, census records are not totally reliable. To date, no Garlitz lines in America from colonial times have been traced to any other progenitor except Christian I. Evidence from census and immigration records indicate that several Garlitz families arrived from Prussia in the mid 19th century and onward. (see below). Primarily Somerset County PA.
