Kutzenhausen is a village in Bas-Rhin (Alsace), France. It is the original home of my OTT ancestors, who emigrated to the United States in about 1830.

This page lists names and information found in the Bas-Rhin Online Records, which provides church records through about 1792 and civil records thereafter. There are also census records for various years beginning in 1819.

My search of these records is neither complete nor thorough. I searched only for the names that appear in my family history, in particular OTT and MEDER.
