Family names Diettinger, Bleu, Simon, Faessel, Fenrich

(Los Angeles, CA USA)

Anyone else know of these Alsatian names from my family? They all emigrated to the U.S. and settled in Pittsburgh circa the 1880s (Simons came earlier, before the Civil War, from Bergbieten/Strasbourg). Fenrich/Faessel were from Gundershoffen, near Haguenau. The Bleu family seems to have mostly stayed in Kaysersberg, except my 3rd great grandmother, Marie Anne Diettinger (née Bleu). Any info would be helpful. If any of you are still in the region, I will be in Kaysersberg soon and would like to meet.
