Dear Eric - I have no records. Alexander and Josephine were married in Chicago at the City Hall. Having secured a copy of the marriage license, there was no mention of his home in Wurttemberg Germany. All family pictures, and documents were destroyed by a family member. Where do I go to further my research? Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. (P.s. Josephine Freund was born and raised in Odenheim, Germany). This couple met in the United States. Hope that I have not confused you.
