Wolfgang, Thank you for this reply...If you have any other hints re: this question, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have 3 or 4 situations like this, (misspelled, mis-recorded names & places) and it is very CONFUSING!
I trace the Wagner / Faller line 12-13 generations to the Blackforest...then the questions begin!

PS......Sometimes there is a previous marriage, illegitimate birth or adoptions that get mixed up in the records. (I guess we may never know the answers...)
Danke !
