Hi Karl,
Emanuel Seitz was my grandfather's grandfather.I too have a copy of the Beery family history book.While it looks like Emanuel was born "Seitz", at some point he changed to "Sites".
The First Moravian chuch of York PA still exists.
From the tiny bit of work I've done, the trail goes cold before John (or Johaness?) Jacob Seitz but I'm suspecting that his ancestors came to Philly from Germany.
The line for me is Emanuel; his son Charles E; Charles E's son Emanuel; Emanual's son Charles E - all in the Beery family history (to the second Emanuel).
I found this info on another website:
