I have traced my ancestory back to the mid 1700's in Germany (Mittelreidenbach area - Pfalz) and there seems to be a connection to Lorraine. Could these surnames be the same? - Morsch / Mersch in French and Morscher / Merscher in German? The French names come from Creutzwald. From what I see in Family books, these names appear to be the same. thankx Andy Tereshyn 276 Pacific Ave., Toronto, Ontario, Canada M6P 2P9 SKYPE: tereshyn 647-522-0095 416-767-0095 416-327-9507
