Hello,
I'm looking for a place in Würtemberg where one of my ancestors, Johann Jakob Kaupt came from. He left the region of Würtemberg in the 1780's to come in France in the town of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines (in Elsass, where there were lots of german families who settled ).
On his marriage and death certificates in France, it is written that he was born in Burbronn in Würtemberg (and also that his parents names were Johann Jacob Kaupt and Jacobin Dress), but I can't find this place. It may be due to a wrong translation from the French officials at that time or maybe this place doesn't exist anymore or has a new name today. I'm French and I'm not very familiar with the archives in Germany.
Does anyone know this town of Burbronn ? And could somebody tell me where it is located and if there are some archives from the 18th century that I can find for this place ?
Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the message in English. My German is unfortunately terrible.
