Many of the Pfalzgraf family which are descendents of Michael live in Wood Co. West Virginia. Michael is buried in Malaga Township, Monroe Co. OH.I currently do not know where his father George is buried.The family that came to America from Alsace with the Pfalzgrafs was Greiners.The Pfalzgrafs are in the Baltimore ship arrivals book form 1823 to 1833.Look under name Fallsgraf.You will find them spelled that way. I found them on actual ship ledger one family below Greiner family.They were related. They both claim to have bured their grandmother on Easter Sunday 1832 and left with rest of family that day for LaHarve.Arrived in Baltimore in July.First record of them being in Monroe Co. OH is 1836 when they purchased land. Documents found in Monroe Co. Library show Michael was in fact born in Wineckerthal, Alsace.There is also a reference to Dambach.
