It's quite possible that Antoine Halter is a brother or child of my Louis Halter (see below). Who knows about Christian below? He could fit in. All born Alsace and either they or one of their children were found later in Scott Co., MO. Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there with any news about how these HALTER lines might connect.
