Father of Joseph A. Furch, Jr., Richard Furch and the late David Furch, Frank (jady) Furch, the late Barbara Furch Kuntz and the late Susan Furch Mazza.

The Furch Family was from Sambor, Austria-Hungary
Now known as "Sambir, a city in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine"

Austria received most of Eastern and part of Western Galicia, and Sambor was included within the Austrian borders. With its transfer to Austrian rule, tremendous changes occurred in Sambor. It became a center for important Austrian offices, with German or Czech officials. An Austrian infantry regiment settled there.
