Schirrhein, Departement du Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France

Mariah Hill, Spencer County, Indiana, USA

Which town did he live? I would also love to be able to identify his parents! Thank you

It's right there in your post.

He's from Schirrhein in Northern Alsace. It's unlikely he was born somewhere he didn't live.

Most people were born at home in the 1800s.

Chances are his family was born, lived and died there too. Or a nearby village.

If you look in the records you might find what you're looking for.

As long as those records are still existing (not destroyed by fire or war or so many other things).

Good luck with your search,
Suzele
