Murat Family in Alsace Lorraine

by Barbara Autry
(Batesburg, SC, USA)

I am trying to locate information on my great grandfather's family. He was born in Alsace Lorraine April 20, 1864(Joseph L Murat). possibly in(Rue de Hericourt?). He immigrated from Le Harve on the ship "La Normandie" to New York, USA arriving on June 6, 1887. He is listed on the registration as "peasant". His father may be Michael Murat. My grandmother always said my grandfather was related to royalty. However, I have not been ab;e to make the connection or been able to trace Michael Murat married to Marie Ana Zefelle. Could you help me
