Son Michael's marriage record lists his father as Peter from Oberbach (?)
In der Obermarggraff schafft Durlach. This indicates Peter was from the
village of Oberbach in the area of Durlach, the capitol of the
Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, Germany.
It is thought the family moved down the Rhine from Switzerland into
Germany and then across to Alsace. Son Michael may be the one born in
1633 in Oberwillm Simme, Bern, Switzerland, and this Peter born there
Mar. 18, 1582, son of Peter Kuntz and Dichtli Eschler.
