FIFTH GENERATION

30. Francis Xavier Himmelsbach was born about 1811 in Alsace, France.
The 1861 Ontario Census shows F.X.H. as age 49 years, and the 1971 Ontario Census shows him as age 59 years. Based on this information, I estimate that he was born between April 1811 and April 1812. I do not know where he was born. There were Himmelsbach births in Soufflenheim so there is a chance he was born there.


He died on 24 Dec 1875 in Formosa, Bruce Co., Ontario. He was married to Genevieve Gentner on 25 Sep 1843 in Soufflenheim, Alsace, France. ⁽²²⁾ Reported in e-mail from Wayne Vizniowski, 28 Oct 1998
