Surnames: Molitor Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2FC.2ACI/1734.1.1.2 Message Board Post: If and when you trace your Molitor family line back to Germany, you might want to check out the following website: www.e-pese.de You will find over 40 Molitors listed in there from the 18th and 19th centuries. As I suspected, they're all from the Saarland in western Germany, which borders Luxembourg and Alsace-Lorraine. This is the area from which my Molitors came, and they intertwined with other family names in my ancestry too, many of whom moved to east central Wisconsin.
