I want to thank everyone who sent me info on Sufflehneim (Soufflenhiem) and LEPPERTs. The links and information have been very helpful and have opened up other lines of research that, hopefully, will help me in my search for Johnannes George LEPPERT, who, based on the info you sent, seems to have just appeared, married, had a family, and disappeared from the records. I have the microfilms on order from the LDS, which may shed some light on this family. Regarding Sufflenheim, what I have found is that after the Thiry Years War, the town and area were pretty much destroyed and depopulated. Later German and Swiss families moved into the region. After the French Revolution, during the Reign of Terror, many of the Church records were destroyed, which is why there is little in the way of information available. Once again, I want to thank everyone for all the help. John
