Sue and I visited Alteckendorf in the Alsace area of France where we met several MATTER family members. Alteckendorf was part of Germany in 1751 when some of my Matter family left for America. Oscar Matter and his wife Hortense, who live nearby in Uckange accompanied us to Alteckendorf and we had a nice time visiting some Matters that still live there. We also have visited Dauphin Co., PA where most of my Matter/Motter family lived after arriving in America. We visited most of the cemeteries in the area and also spent time at the Gratz and Harrisburg Libraries. We also continue to research our home area of Ogle Co., IL and are continuously adding more to our database including most early family lines. Please write for additional information, a look-up, or if you have information to share.

All Matter and Romberger family descendents are related to the 34th President of the U.S., Dwight D. Eisenhower. Click here for his direct line
