1032	From the Froelich book of 1909-- The very best line that has been established for the Johanna Dorothea Froelich line dates back to three brothers, born near Insterburg in about 1610-Michael, Jacob and Christoph Froelich. Christoph was our Stamm Vater, according to church archives in Koenigsberg, Insterburg and Ragnit in East Prussia, definitely dating back to 1610. They were all churchly people and the ministry was the choice of men, as found in one generation after another. The coat of arms is pictured in the Froelich book by Reinhold Froelich. The origin is rather indefinite as twelve different sorts and colors have been found. Reinhold Froelich, the compiler of that book, engaged an expert on heraldry, a Herr von Hasken, who advised him to be satisfied with that one picture as it had been handed down and should be right. The colors were faded but the design surely right.	FROELICH, Johanna Dorothea (I3863)
