This marriage record is quite remarkable, in that it states that Friedrich was born in the village Kanstadt, near Warsaw, Poland. Johanna Maria was born in Teplitz.

Our Bettcher Family (also Boettcher, Böttcher) came from Germany via Poland (Posen or South Prussia), then Bessarabia (today in Ukraine), then Dobruja (today in Romania), and finally to North Dakota. From there we have scattered across the midwestern United States and into western Canada. Our oldest known Bettcher ancestor is Michael Böttcher, born 1794 in Poland. He migrated to Bessarabia, South Russia in 1816, where he was a founding colonist of the the village Paris.

Is there somewhere that I could look at the descendants of this Friedrich Boepple? I have a Friedrich Poepple (with "P") in my family, but have zero information on him, other than an old family photo, taken in Cataloi in the late 1920's or early 1930's. "My" Friedrich Poepple was married to my aunt Christina Rauschenberger, born in 1886 in Alt Posttal, Bessarabia.
