Hi, I have been trying to verify the birthdate and birthplace of my ancestor, Nicholas LANG, b. 13 March 1825 in Luxembourg. He migrated to the US/Canada and was married by 1853 to Sarah Kaiser of PA. They lived in Ontario in the 1860s until their final move to Kittson Co., MN in 1880. Nicholas LANG claimed his birthplace as Alsace-Lorraine, France instead of Luxembourg. Please pardon my ignorance, but did Germany have possession of this region in 1825? How do I go about finding his birthplace and parents? Any information would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Angela Angelucas@aol.com
