Bonjour, I would like to compare notes with anyone researching BRENDER, BENDER, FRISCH or SCHMITT from Fessenheim, Haut-Rhin. I believe my ggm Maria BRENDER was a daughter of Phillipe BRENDER bc. 1806 and Anne Marie FRISCH bc.1807. Maria married Anton BENDER also of Fessenheim, possibly the son of Ignace BENDER bc. 1804 and Marie Anne SCHMITT bc. 1807. I have the Fessenheim civil registres, naissances (1812-1862) and mariages (1793-1862) on order from LDS. I would enjoy hearing from anyone familiar with this area or these families. Best Regards, Cathy
