Johann(e) Seybert/Seibert was a bricklayer [not a stone mason], residing in the town of Ransweiler, county of Kaiserslautern and Palatinate district of the Kingdom of Bavaria. On Peter's birth certificate he signed his name as Johannes Seibert. He died in Germany.
Marguerite H. Seibert, who had been married at age 23, departed Le Havre on the Ship Malabar, place of origin: Switzerland and Germany. She and Peter arrived in Philadelphia on August 30, 1841.

My great great Grandmother, Magdalena is buried at Lint Fiat. I seen a mention on your site of a congregation book of the mid to late 1800's. Do you have a copy or do I need to contact the church?
Thank you
