I'm trying to locate a Rosina Oberle, who was born 19 March 1801, most likely in Moselle and her husband Jean Abba. The family emigrated to Cincinnati, Ohio, around 1836. I have searched all the available records in the USA for their birth places, with no results. This includes checking their children's records. I'm wondering if the "Rosina" name is usually found in the area of Alsace Lorraine? Rosina married Jean Abba in the 1820's. Their daughter, Anna Maria Abba, married Jean Paul Krebs, of Rimling, Moselle, in 1852 in Cincinnati, Ohio. They were Roman Catholic. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks very much, Bob Krebs
Bob, The Alsace Emigration Book lists three people with the surname Oberle: Francois Antoin[e], born 1839 in Surbourg, emigrated 1859 (profession: "SHOE") Pierre, born 1844 in Thal, emigrated 1864 (no profession listed) Chretien, born in Hornberg (no date given), emigrated 10-3-1849 (no profession listed) I suggest you investigate those towns.
