In the records, Michel is stated to be from Witembourg, Strassbourg, Germany, in the principality of Charles. It was near Douvlach, Patt, Germany. The town of Strassberg in Baden-Wuerttemberg is located on old maps of Germany. This is probably the location of Michel's birthplace. The exact surname used in each record is not specified other than to say that the surnames of Close, Clase, Closse, Cloths, Gloss, Glosse & Klause were all used in the records. Michel sailed to America circa 1800 and settled in Assumption Parish, Louisiana. No town is listed for Michel's burial site. I'm assuming he was buried in Plattenville, Louisiana.
