My husband's ancestor Joseph Kuntz was from Goersdorf which is now part of Bas Rhin in France. He was listed on the Ohio census as being from Hesse. The northern part of Alsace was part of Hesse for a while. Terry Staub Dayton Ohio In a message dated 2/28/2011 9:51:58 P.M.

My Elizabeth Weinsheimer/Winsheimer is said to have come from Alsace-Lorraine, but some US records say she is from Hesse-Darmstadt. I have no idea where to look or even how to search for her in Germany. Anyone else have this surname? Her father was Anthony and brother, Andrew...found them in Ohio. Elizabeth WEINSHEIMER married Johann GERSTENSCHLAEGER in Ohio. My Gerstenschlaegers are also from Darmstadt..Habitzheim. Any pointers will be gratefully and happilly accepted. Thanks, y'all!
