Hi,
You may know this but there is a Kientzheim in Alsace, not too far from Strasbourg. It is along the so-called Route du Vin and features the Alsatian Wine Museum. It's closer to Colmar than Strasbourg, actually. There's also a Kintzheim further north...
A friend has traveled through Kientzheim and shot photos for me -- it's a charming little walled town -- and brought back a bottle of the locally produced wine.
My husband's Kientzes apparently left the region in the mid-19th century and headed for New Orleans where they set up a little farm just above the French Market.
The Kientzes of New Orleans apparently have not been much concerned with genealogy, however. They seem to know very little beyond names.
Hope some of this helps...
