Witschger's in France

[magwits]

I have met a brick wall in searching for ancestors of Joseph Witschger (c1730 - 9/1789) who married Ursula Reinberger (c1730 - before 1790) in Wuenheim, France on Jul 28, 1761.

Is he any relation to Joseph Witschger born Feb 7. 1688/1689 in Soultz, France?

I can help with Witschger line in United States from Raymond Witschger born Jan 23, 1804 in Wuenheim, France and died Sep 10, 1847.

Are Joanis and Jean the same name in French?

Yes Joannis in latin, Jean in french

[ericdubois]

And since it's in Alsace, you may also find it as Joannes in German.
