I have a few MARCHAND family members in my VONACHEN family history, however, not that much data. They are a remote line in my tree. The data I have is as follows: Barbara MARCHAND Born March 30th, 1745, Sarre Union, Bas Rhin, Alsace Died Abt. 1799 in Sarrewerden, Bas Rhin, Alsace Her parents were: Michael MARCHAND, no data Elizabeth ROSSE, Born Schalbach, date unknown, died August 13, 1786 in Sarre Untion Barbara MARCHAND, married Thiebault C. Gallê, January 21, 1766 in Sarrewerden. I have one child listed for this marriage: Jean Geroges Gallê, DOB August 30th, 1775. (He is the connection to my family tree.) The above info is from LDS microfilm. (The birth preceeded the marriage) Sorry, no Joseph MARCHAND data, but just thought I'd share what I have. It could or could not be of assistance.
