Am so very new at this and am requesting any help in finding out about these family relatives. I am trying to find information on my husbands father's name of Seif. We have a Mathias SEIF born 1727 Landstuhl, Pfalz and died 26 February 1804 Rh P who married a Gertrude STEFFAN on 17 October 1769 in St. Andraes, Austria Hungary. Gertrude STEFFAN was born 1753 Kedange Lorraine and died 23 March 1813 in St. Andraes, Austria Hungary. Have listed a Peter STEFFAN as Gertrude's father. Gertrude and Mathias had 6 children. Can anyone do a look-up on this family's actual birth place, marriage place, etc.? Would be so grateful for any help. Now, my husband's Mother's family name of GOTZ/GOETZ. I have found a Johann Gotz born 1735 in DT Lothringen who had a son named Thomas GOTZ born 1758 In Austria Hungary. Would there be any GOTZ/GOETZ's in this region during and before the 1700's? Thanks again for any help or suggestions on my find. marge, USA
