Andre Gross, born about 1697 in Gendersberg, married Barbe Keller, born in Lengelsheim, 12.06.1759 in Schorbach. One of their children was Andre. The father, Andre, married a second wife, Marie Barbe Klein, who was born 02.11.1722 in Lengelsheim. (Norbert Schneider and Pierrette Kirsch's book on the familes of Lengelsheim). I will try looking further into the other books I have for your family.

The parents of Bernhard are Andreas GROSS & Barbara KELLER. I have been able to gather some records for his children, but cannot find Bernhard's birth record or anything further about his parents. His children were born in Hilst, Dorst, Liederschiedt, & Schorbach according to OSB Batschsentiwan. Also according to OSB Batschsentiwan, Bernhard Gross, farmer, from Langelsheim, Lothringen, emigrated in 1765. I could not find anything on such a place, but now realize that this should be Lengelsheim, which I think is near Schorbach. Bernhard had a brother Bartholomaus who was from Münchweiler, another possible place of origin for my own family. If anyone can help with my search for Bernhard and his parents, I would be most appreciative.

The 12.06.1759 date is for the marriage of Andre Gross to Marie Barbe Klein. This marriage occurred in Schorbach. Lengelsheim may refer to the birth place for Barbe Keller. Bernard Gross and Elise Zimmer lived in Hanviller, where they had a son, Jean, born 01.09.1758. (Norbert Schneider's book on Hanviller families). There is no mention of Bernard's parents.
