!MARRIAGE: FHL#1189474 wife's name is Marie BALCE, not BALZER. This record

       gives his father's name as Pierre. It does not list the mother's name.
       It lists the wife's parent's name as Antoine. The prior researcher
       seems to have mistakenly assumed that Antoine Balce was the name of
       Jaques mother. The pastor performing the marriage was Santos. The
       record indicates they were married in Hauerbach, but they were both
       resident at Mutschelbach. (Could not locate a Hauerbach or something
       even close to that in the general vicinity, (visual search of MAP) or
       with the help of parish registers, or gazetteers.
