Anna Dorothea Rotter was born 27 Feb 1692 in Uttenhoffen, a legal daughter of Hans Georg Rotter, a citizen of Uttenhoffen, father's name unknown, and Anna Marie Volckel, legitimate daughter of Dorst Volckel, citizen of Uttenhoffen.

Uttenhoffen is in the parish of Gundershoffen, Bas Rhine, France, where this event is recorded. The area is north and a little west of Strasbourg and south of the Palatinate region of Germany.

Parish Rec. Evangelische Kirke, Gundershoffen, Bas-Rhine, France. Marr, 1682-1755, 1717. Same for birth 1692

Gundershoffen Lutheran records began in 1682. The births of Hans Georg Rotter and Anna Maria Volckel could not be studied.

The search for Emicks before 1717, in or near Gundershoffen parish, revealed no christening for Johannes. This indicates the Emichs came from another locality. After the defeat of Louis XIV in 1697, many reformed Swiss families came into the area of Gundershoffen to repopulate it. At the time of the emigration this region was German territory. Gundershoffen was under the Counts of Hanau-Lichernberg.

Canton Bern in Switzerland provided the majority of Swiss into the Alsatian territories. Of 441, approximately 400 came from Bern, 14 from Canton Zurich, and a few from other cantons.

From Lacy Weston via email 26 May 1997, a descendant of Anna Maria Emig and Antonius "Antony" Coble.

She is Anna in GER but listed as Eva Dorothea in PA records, mostly as a sponsor of her grandchildren.
