No, the first source I encountered with information about Jacob Schwanger's european ancestry was a book called "Eighteenth Century Emigrants from the Northern Alsace to America" by Annette Kunsleman Burgert, Picton Press, Camden, Maine (1992). This source included baptism records for five children of Jacob and Maria Susanna. It omitted eldest son Paul. I later corresponded with the gentleman who had done the research in France (Alsace) and he reexamined the church records and found Paul with surname misspelled "Schwager", which is why he had been initially omitted from this family listing. I hired this researcher to then look further for Schwanger records in the area and thereby obtained the marriage date for Jacob and Maria plus the rest of the information posted on my website regarding the European ancestry (parents, grandparents, siblings) of Jacob.
