Alphonse Koenig migrated from France to Louisiana.
Alphonse Koenig was born about 1847 in France, probably Alsace-Lorraine. He immigrated to the USA with his parents Anton or Antoine Koenig and Rosa Golly (not sure of the correct spelling) and his brothers Louis and Edward, when he was a young boy. The family settled in Texas where his parents and brothers remained; however, Alphonse moved to Louisiana and is next found when about 23 years old, living in the household of a restaurant-keeper while working as a bar-keeper in New Iberia, Louisiana (1870 census). [1]
On January 2, 1873, when he was about 26, he married Elizabeth (Isabelle) Broussard in Youngsville, Lafayette, Louisiana.[2]
