Good afternoon. I appreciate your responses. I cannot be certain of the town, Wersbach, as it was recorded that way on the Ellis Island register when my Great Grandmother Emilie and her son Adolf arrived in the USA. I understand that when entries were made, surnames were often misspelled and/or changed and I suspect that the names of towns or cities may have had the same fate.And please allow one additional question:

All fine - please simply disregard my initial reply since as the following messages by @kari clearly prove that her correct place of origin is
Wörsbach (near Niederkirchen)
[In German pronounced "similar" to: Wersbach]
[American speakers would pronounce it as: "Wersback"]
