Reiner/Wehner from Prussia

Sorry if I sounded confused but I was only restating what the 3 Fed Census stated as his birthplace. For 1860, both Christ/Christoph/Christopher were from Prussia. In 1870, Christ is from Wurttemberg and Sabina from Bavaria, in 1880, they are both from Germany. I suspect they are both from the same general region of Bavaria. Their death certs say Germany but a daughter's marriage cert says both form Bavaria.
To add to the confusion, my mother and her sister both said the family was from Alsace-Lorraine.
I am sorry for this confusion but this is all I have. The Reiner kin say this family came to the USA via Pennsylvania perhaps in the early 1800s. I cannot find any records to substantiate this though. I am lost and these are my only starting point. A search of the Wehner's of Dresden proved not to be my line. Any suggestions??
