Durrenbach, Bas Rhin, France Birthplace of Magdalena Sibler  

My great grandmother, Magdalena Sibler Folzenlogel, was born in the town of Durrenbach, Alsace, Bas Rhin, France, in 1841.  In the fall of 1979, my cousin Norbert Young and his wife Ruth visited Durrenbach and took a number of slides.

When they went to the parish rectory, they found the pastor could not speak English, and they were unable to speak French.  So he called up a young woman to serve as an interpreter.  Her name was Annie-Paule Sibler, and she turned out to be a relative.  
 
The name of the parish church in Durrenbach is St. Bartholomew.
 

The cemetery was filled with bright flowers and contained a number of Sibler graves. With the help of the church records microfilmed by the Church of Latter Day Saints, we should be able to compile a chart of our Sibler ancestors.   Map to link of Google Map for Durrenbach
