Hello Miriam: My ancestor Elizabeth Frey was born about early December 1806 if the tombstone information and death record is accurate. They say that she died August 20, 1882, age 75 years 8 months. She married Lorenz Hoffman(n) about 1828 (place unknown)and her first child, Magdalena, (my great-grandmother)was born in 1830 in Nothweiler, Pfalz and christened in nearby Rumbach. Three more children were born there and a fifth just before or on the ocean trip over here in 1845/1846. They finally settled in Ontario, Canada. Supposedly, as I have not seen the books themselves, Dennis Kastens, in his listings of various families in Nothweiler and Rumbach, says that Elizabeth Frey Hoffman was born in/near Wingen, Alsace. Her death record and various census records do indicate that she was born in France. >From maps I've checked of the area, Wingen is only about 5 miles or so south of Nothweiler which is fairly close to the current border, so that does seem a good possibility. There is also a chance that she had a brother Jacob Frey/Fry born c1798 who had emigrated here earlier in the 1830s but I have not been able to confirm that relationship. So far I have not had any luck in locating Elizabeth's parents or siblings so if in your Frey research you chance upon these names I'd be so grateful if you would let me know. Thanks for any help or hints of where to search you might be able to provide.
