John Salentine who married Anna Maria Gemund had 1st child, a daughter: Gertrude. She is my connection to the Salentines. Not her brother (Joseph) John, who married Angeline(Angela) Puetzer. There is very confusing information at familysearch.com I got so many versions of where John Salentine was born, and where his children were born, that it confused me. There was a great 1880 census on the Mathias Salentine family, that seems to match up nicely with the info. I had. Check it out, maybe all the "salentine" researchers, can figure the names and dates out. There was some information about a John Salentine, being born in Alsace-Lorraine, Prussia/France. I'm looking into this as a possibility. There is an "Alsace-Lorraine" list. Take care, Cindy
