I am looking for information on the family below. I have not been able to get back any further than the Revision List Date: 12 March 1816 Cherson Government, Tirasol Kreis, Kutschurgan Gebiet, Kandel Colony. I thing he came from Rohrwiller in département of Lower-Rhine (Bas-Rhin) in Alsace (not Alsace-Lorraine, Alsace-Lorraine was a German administrative province from 1871 to 1918. Alsace has nothing to do with Lorraine). Rohrwiller coordinates are 48° 45′ 23″ North 7°
54′ 21″ East. The name of Rohrwiller is Rohrwiller in French since 1648. Before the French Revolution, Rohrwiller was a village of the landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt (His lands on the left bank of the Rhine were under French sovereignity). The landgrave lived in Strasbourg and inherited his Alsatian lands of the count of Hanau-Lichtenberg, another well known Lutheran Alsatian lord allied to France and Sweden during 30 years' war. Before 1689, the population of Rohrwiller was lutheran but was forcibly converted to catholicism (like in Seltz). The Catholic priests detroyed the Protestant records (like in Seltz).
