Hello Floyd; Thank you much for your kind and timely reply. I do not have
Pauline's parents names. I am reasonably sure they were French Huguenots
who had to emigrate to Prussia. I shall see if I can find some Stephans in
Hohenselchow, Germany where her finance (at the time) and his family
emigrated to. I will keep your email and address in the event I am able to
find out more about Pauline. She and her husband immigrated to Winona
County Minnesota and had three children before moving on to Durb
I think I have found the answer to your problem.
Siegen is a village in the north of Alsace (France), not very far from
the German border (less than 10 km). The biggest city in the area is
Lauterbourg (France) at the border with Germany. The region on the
other side of the border in Germany is "Pfalz" (in french "Palatinat"),
which SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH BAYERN. Bayern is another (big)
region in Germany, located in the south-east, near the Austrian and the
Czech border... Hagenbach is a Ger
Hi Charlie,
glad to see you again. Do you have any news about my Marzolf's prior to 1730
or later than 1830 ?
I'm interested to exchange data on any Marzolf line from Oberseebach,
Aschbach, Oberbetschdorf, Memmelshoffen, Auenheim, Leutesheim, Schalkendorf,
Obermodern, Gottesheim, Printzheim, Ingenheim, Rechtenbach, Roppenheim and
around Eguisheim.

Thank you Luc. You pretty much covered most of the names I have worked
with. I believe I will make a chart from your list and hang it on the wall.
Thanks again

Hi Carolyn and Ellen,
Sometimes parts of Alsace were regarded by the "German" inhabitants as
Prussia. My g-grandfather listed Prussia as his homeland in a few censuses
here in the states, but was from Scheibenhard, Alsace.

Hi Arlene,
At that time (1801) and since 1798 was Hagenbach (now in Germany, about 16
km north-east of Siegen) located in the French dipartement of Mont-Tonnerre
("Donnersberg" in German).
The main city of this dipartement was Mainz / Mayence. The dipartement was
divided into 4 arrondissements and 37 cantons. The civil registers were kept
by the French administration.

the map is dated from 1811.

I'm here, but I don't say much because I never see anything about my part
of Alsace.
My Schwob family comes from Manspach. Without giving you the whole line, I
am descended from Joseph Schwob who married Barbara Schwob. I have several
generations back, all gleaned from the LDS films. I have been to Manspach
and loved it dearly. The first person I met was at the church, an older
woman in wooden shoes who was working in the yard. Grandpa Schwob was a
wooden shoe maker! I was blown away -- I connect woo
Perhaps someone will be kind enough to help me with this delimma.
My question is -- where/how did they come to be in Scheibenhard? And where do I go from here?
I've searced the BORDENKIRCHER tree back to (for sure) a BORDENKIRCHER, John Wendelin christened in Schiebenhard in 1723. I believe, but do not know for sure that his father is Jean Christophe who died in Schiebenhard 22 July 1746. He was at some point in Steinmauern, Palatinat, ALLEMAGNE as he has a daughter born there..

My Stephans also came from Alsace-Lorraine. They were mostly from
Gunstett, although others were born in the towns of Ludweiler,
Gundershofen, and Reitsel. I have looked the towns up on various
maps, but don't remember the exact geography.
I looked for your Pauline amongst the Stephans I know about (a couple
hundred) but she died not turn up. Do you have her parent's names?
FYI, my Stephan line is (probably with errors):

Is anyone besides myself researching Antonius, Antoine, Anton Stern, Sterns,
Stearns and or Rosine, Rose Stuner, Stunner from the Alsace-Lorraine or
Hessen regions? My GGGrandparents immigrated to the USA between 1847 and
1853. First record is 1860 Census in Texas Township in the County of Wayne
in the State of Pennsylvania. Prior to 1860 I have run into the proverbial
brick wall. I have close to 700 family members to share.
I use the name commonly used by the person (as far as I can tell). Also
list in the notes variations; some names have up to 40 different
spellings and variations. Most of the French names in Quebec have "dit"
names. Dit means called, and the families have two legal surnames with
multiple spellings and variations.
A birth record received from the Alsace records gives the name in French
and also in German.
This person was born in 1822, I believe Alsace was German then. I use
both names in my database.
Luc,
Merci beaucoup! I really appreciate all the time and effort answering my
question. It was very kind of you and I thank you for being so generous It
all makes sense now!
Many thanks,
Arlene in NC USA
I am researching the ancestry of Jacob Simon who according to Burgert's 1992 book arrived in Philadelphia 30 Nov 1750 on the ship Sandwich with his wife Anna Magdalena nee Wust and two daughters. He was from Langensoultzbach in Northern Alsace. Any information would be appreciated.

To Joan and Rob; The families were French Huguenots and left to escape to
Prussia from A-L. I think that they did not find many of their religion in
the small village of Hohenselchow Prussia, even though many Huguenots
escaped to Prussia, and may not have even had a church to go to there. The
Moravian religion was known to be active in Germany and Hohenselchow may
have had a church in their time there. The church record which has the fact
in their archives says they were French Huguenots is the se
