                   History of Stone County Missouri.  Published by the Stone County Historical
Society.  Article "Johann Henrich SEITZ", by Richard (Fritz) Toler.  "The name is spelled variously, FELTSINGER, FELDSINGER, FELTZINGER, and
FELSINGER...Andres FENSINGER was born in Germany around 1678 in the Palatinate (Pfalz).  It is not certain which one of the two Palatinates he was from.  He migrated to the USA in 1738 with his son'in'law, Johann Henrich SEITZ.  After arriving in Philadelphia, nothing has been found to tell about Andres.  His death is listed as 1766.  There is an Andrew FELSINGER listed in the 1790 census of Pennsylvania, but this is at best a descendant, possibly a son.  From 1800 on there are no more FELSINGERs to be found in the census records."
