Cook/Koch en Anglais/Francais My great-great Grandfather Frederick Cook/Koch was born in Alsace/Loraine part of France in July 18, 1821. He arrived in America about 1844 naturalization papers show, and the US Census shows him married to Walburg Baker Koch with a son, Frederick F. , born in 1851 and daughter, Rachel, born about 1856. He died December 5, 1902. The family oral story is that Frederick Sr. was married in France and his wife died. He was so despondent, he went down by the water and was hit over the head, taken aboard a ship which was headed to America. He landed in New York and stayed there. It is not known when or where he met Walburg. We just found his death certificate and his father’s name was Jacob Koch from France. We are hoping there is a family of Jacob Koch who is missing Frederick, who don’t know what became of him. They may have his birth, but not death. I would love to find my French ancestors. Mon arrière-grand-père Frederick Cook / Koch est né en Alsace / Lorraine à la France en Juillet 18, 1821. Il est arrivé en Amérique sur les papiers de naturalisation 1844 spectacle, et le recensement américain lui montre marié à Walburg Baker Koch avec un fils, Frederick F., né en 1851 et sa fille, Rachel, née vers 1856. Il est mort Décembre 5, 1902. L'histoire de la famille par voie orale est que Frédéric Sr. était marié en France et sa femme est morte. Il était tellement abattu, il descendit par l'eau et a été frappé à la tête, pris à bord d'un navire qui se dirigeait vers l'Amérique. Il débarque à New York et y est resté. On ne sait pas quand, ni où il a rencontré Walburg. On vient de trouver son certificat de décès et le nom de son père était Jacob Koch de la France. Nous espérons qu'il y est une famille de Jacob Koch qui est absent Frédéric, qui ne sait pas ce qu'il est devenu. Ils peuvent avoir des sa naissance, mais pas la mort. J'aimerais retrouver mes ancêtres français Carolyn Burt, M.Ed. Owner, Proctor Art Gallery,LLC

Carolyn, without knowing the birth place of Frederick KOCH, it will be very uneasy to find info, especially as the name KOCH is pretty frequent. Is there no info to be found in your country?

I am looking for anyone with information about the Krieg or Kantzer families from Alsace Lorraine. My lines of both of these families immigrated to the US in 1881 and 1883. I would be happy to share information. 1) Michel Krieg and wife Maria Mossler/Mussler immigrated to Lutherville, Arkansas, US, in 1883. (Their children were Michael, Maria, George, Jacob, Johannes, Christmann, Margaretha and Katharine.) Michel was born in Ringendorf, Bas Rhin in 1824. Maria was born in 1832 in Wickersheim, Bas Rhin. Looking for information on the parents of Michel and Maria: Michel's parents are said to be Michel Krieg and Margarethe Krieger. Maria's father may be Georg Mossler/Mussler/Moessler. 2) The Krieg's first son, Michael, above, was born in Ringendorf, Bas Rhin in 1853. He and his wife, Sophia Rostetter, born in Bas Rhin in 1854, immigrated to Peru, Indiana, US, in 1881. (Their children Sophie, Louisa, Charles, Frank, Oscar and Clara were born in the US.) Looking for information on Sophia Rostetter's parents, possibly Frank Rostetter and Carolyn. 3) Michael Kantzer and wife Barbara Kantzer (his 1st cousin) immigrated to Peru, Indiana, US, in 1881. Michael was born in Geiswiller, Bas Rhin, in 1836. Barbara was born in 1840 in Ringendorf, Bas Rhin. (Their children were Anna, Gabriel, Carl, John, Jacob, Maria, Albert and Frederick.) Michael's parents were Michael Kantzer b 1809 in Alteckendorf, and Marguerite Stenger b 1808 in Geiswiller. Barbara's parents were Georges-Jean Kantzer b 1805 in Alteckendorf and Barbe-Marie Lentz b 1809 in Alteckendorf. Marguerite's parents were Michael Stenger and Marguerite Ebnig. Barbe-Marie's parents were Johannes Lentz and Maria Strauss. Looking for information on these 2 sets of parents: Stenger/Ebnig and Lentz/Strauss. The daughter Sophie Krieg from family 2 and the son John Kantzer from family 3 are my great grandparents. Thank you in advance for any help.
