Hello,
I am looking for any information about Peter Bettinger and his wife Margarethe Nicola (or Nicolas, Nicolay). They supposedly died in Dudweiler around 1846, and their daughter, Margarethe Bettinger, is my 3x great-grandmother. The familienbuch from Dudweiler says that they came from Falkenberg "im Kurhessischen", but I see that "Falkenberg" is the German name for Faulquemont, Lorraine, and it would make so much more sense if they came from there (Bettinger is a name which is fairly common in Lorraine and has its roots there). Their daughter, Margaretha, married Johann Christian Pitz, and both of them came to Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, USA in the 1850's. Any information about this couple would be very much appreciated.
