Looking for information on my great, great grandfather's family. He was Joseph Meyer, born May 1828 in Mothern, Alsace. I believe his parents were Blaise Meyer, born 1800 & Philippine Baumann born 1805 in Mothern. Joseph had 2 children, Blasius, born 1857 in Mothern and Mary Magdelena, born 1858 in Mothern. Story goes that Joseph's wife committed suicide so family came to USA in 1867 and settled in Logansport, Indiana. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you, Sandy Avery of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
