You may, as I have, find that the once-village is now found only as street/s or perhaps a neighborhood in the other village/town.

Hi All, Thanks to all who answered with info on Johannesviller which seems to have been absorbed by Farschviller over the years. From what I had seen it was either very close or the same place with a different name.
