Hoping someone can help me. I am going to the region in March to conduct research and have been trying to no avail to figure out exactly where to start. My family immigrated via antwerp to philadelphia in 1902. For all intensive purposes we were raised to think they were from alsace lorraine with a last residence of forbach.
recently i uncovered a document indicating that they were born in a place called Wurtemburg, Germany. Just so I am sure - there is no place in the former area of alsace lorraine called wurtemburg, correct?
