Hello all...... I am looking for the town of Balborn, or might be Belborn, or Bolborn. When Barbara Qahm or Rahm was born in 1805 in Balborn that was part of the French Republic,,, I would like to know where Balborn is today... I am reading a marriage record from Otterberg, Germany dated 1840 and Barbara Rahm is to marry Franz Melkus. Could any one let me know more about the location of the French Republic? I know that this country exhisted from 1793-1805. Thank you Margaret Maryland USA
