I have some very old messages posted in my search for my GGrandfather Ferdinand GERSPACH and his wife Mary Josephine DESCHLER and ny address has changed to floralpx@nc.rr.com. Ferdinand was born in Wyhlen, Baden, in about 1840 and went to Alsace-Lorraine as a young man where he married a Marie Josephine DESCHLER. They had several children there including my grandmother Marie (Mary) Caroline GERSPACH. The family came to United States in 1882 and settled in Wisconsin. I am really looking for where my grandmother was born in Alsace-Lorraine in about 1871, and also where Marie Josephine DESCHLER was from. I believe DESCHLER went by the name of Josephine, but the ship's list says Marie. Can anyone help? Florence
This is off topic but regarding Alsace-Lorraine food....Trader Joe's has a frozen apple tart (low in sugar and fat) with origins from Alsace-Lorraine.
