FRANCE: Maurer & Muntce from Alsace

[caro1903]

No Maurer is an Alsatian name, my name family name is Maurer, im from mauritius
A man wrote to my family years ago in 1998 i think, telling us that he is doing researches about his family who had been spread in different parts of the world and found us as descenders of the first Maurer in Alsace, and you, are you a Maurer too?

Hi Jorose,
               No M. Philipe Maurer who wrote to my family lives in France but not in Alsace. But i know that my ancestors originated from Alsace and they split in different countries like Switzerland or the United state. I live in Mauritius where some Maurer actually migrated. I actually think that I can be related to the Maurer who lives in Switzerland or France or United State as I am a Muarer too.
