I  can't comment on most of Gary's post but the mention of Alsace 
Lorraine struck a nerve. My ggf was a German born in Rozhysche and married
to Alvine (or Irina, or Alwine) Mroch (or Mrock) and my first family 
lore reference to my ggm indicated that she was from Alsace Lorraine. 
I have
found no trace of her or her parents, ancestors in Europe. Only 
documentation I have on her is U.S. census, her Cook County Illinois 
death record, and her name on birth certificates of her children.

I have a wedding photo of my ggparents but nothing else about ggm 
Alvine's origins.

There's an Alsatian-American list on rootsweb but I've only had some 
tantalyzing posts that proved unfruitful.

I don't give up but just don't know where to go next.
