Tales of one of the Ebenezer settlement’s most famous residents helped Georgia Salzburgers pay homage to their heritage Monday. With descendants of Georgia’s first constitutional governor, John Adam Treutlen, on hand, Salzburgers accepted the first two volumes of genealogical reports and a presentation of Old Ebenezer books from Newberry College. "Why is heritage so important?" asked Rev. John Barichivich, who noted his ancestry is Scottish, German, Hungarian, Dutch, Welsh and Cajun, among others.
