Franz Ferdinand Joseph Balz & Raimunda Siedhoff
Franz Ferdinand Joseph is Theordor and Maria Anna’s first born son and therefore inherits the Bals-Lusebrink, which is successfully maintained and passed down through the bloodline.
Franz changes the name spelling from Balz to Bals. I believe this coincides with the birth of Theresia, who is his first child with his second wife Theresia Koch-Schulte, but I don’t have any documents to confirm this assumption.
The Lusebrink is currently under the stewardship of Franz’s Great Grandson.
Additional information will need to come from the German side of the family.
*I picked Raimunda over Theresia for the top of this page because she is the mother who perpetuates the Lusebrink bloodline.
