David STRAUB
Margaret FILSER

Husband: David STRAUB
Birth: 20 Mar 1826, Sils, Graubuenden, Switzerland
Death: 15 Nov 1864, Brunswick Twp., Chariton Co., MO
Occupation: farmer

Most secondary sources are showing our subject as being from "Sills, Germany," but, as far as I can determine, there is no such place (nor is there a Sels). There is a Sils in the German-speaking canton of Graubfuenden in Switzerland.

Marriage:

Wife: Margaret / Margarete / Margaretha / Marguerite / Margratha / Margrathe / Margarette FILSER
Birth: 23 May 1820, probably Bremmelbach, Alsace [now Alsace-Lorraine, France]
Death: 23 Nov 1898, Brunswick Twp., Chariton Co., MO
Occupation: homemaker

Margaret has a different origin in each of three censuses, namely: Sels, France, and Germany. While it is possible her origin is the same as her husband's, it is also the case that when an ethnic German flips between France and Germany as their origin, it typically means they are from Alsace-Lorraine, an ethnic German enclave in France. There are, in fact, some FILSERs in Brunswick Township, Chariton County, known to have an origin in Bremmelbach, Alsace (see WorldConnect).
