I am searching for information concerning my great grandfather and great grandmother:

My great grandfather's name was George Lang
He was born on Sept. 22, 1846, in Alsace, France.
He was a veteran of the Franco-Prussian War, and in 1870 he was a sergeant in the Army of the Loire
He came to the United States in 1873 and lived in Hoboken, NJ, then Bronx, NY, and finally in Yonkers, NY, where he died on May 26, 1948, at the age of 101.
He married my great grandmother, Leona Weitz, on June 8, 1874 at the Church at 156th St., in Bronx, NY.
Leona Weitz was also born in Alsace, France, about 1854.
She died on Nov. 17, 1891, while living in the Bronx, NY.

I would appreciate receiving any information, or advice, as to where to locate further data concerning my great grandparents.
