Etienne, I have no clue where in Alsace-Lorraine, my great grandfather came from. We have no names of parents or siblings or grandparents. About 15 years after he came over Andres Spielman came over. He married my great Aunt, who would have been Frank Spielman's step-daughter. But then sometime their name was changed to Spellman. Can you give me any advice? Nothing on his obit or death certificate or in his naturalization either. Thanks Rachelle The village in Ohio he came to was Geyer, Ohio and most all the people from that village were from Rothbach and Wimmeneau
