My Greatgrandfather was Jacob Stephan Jr., he ws born in 1860. His parents was Jacob Stephan( born 1837-died 1913) and Katharine Braunecker(born 1843-died 1888) and he was born in 1837. His parents were Adam Stephan and Anna Hartman. The family came from a Village called Roppevillier in Lorraine Germany . They came to the US in 1869/1870. Does any of this sound familiar.
