Is Gottlen. short for godmother? I cannot confirm this, on the web or even in my Cassell's. This is in a 1662 record. Thanks. best, Paul

A birth record of July 23 (bapt 25) 1686 refers to "Festa Jacobi" I cannot find anything on this on the web. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks. best, Paul

A birth record from 1604 Strasbourg refers to the dad as being from Küefflen-Stu[b?]. I cannot find a place called this near Strasbourg. Does anyone recognize this name? Thanks. best, Paul

Here is another record I need translated. It is the grandfather of Frederich Dolter from the last record. It can be found in Durstel death year XIV image 2/5   Thank You Steve

Ewald,   Wow! I was just reading about Mr. Hein's work in another thread. I guess I will have to get myself a copy. I'm Doing this resaearch for a distant relative named Sean Dolter. I directed him to the list and hope he will sign on here shortly. He is going to be ecstatic to learn of this breakthrough. I had conversed with someone on GeneaNet about this family and he had some info from the "California Mennonite Historical Society" that also claimed the Switzerland ties. We were just starting to try and prove that connection and you have now given us a great lead on evidence. Thank you very much for your contribution. Steve

Bernd... Thank you again but, I'm sorry to say that you still haven't got the correct record. There are 4 records on image 4/6. I'm interested in the lower left hand record for Frederich Dolter. This is in the commune of Durstel, civil birth, An X.   Frederich was an illegitimate child and I am trying to find out if the name of his father is in the record. And also any other info can be learned.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thank You Stephan

Hi Listers, Narda is right, old tomstones are rare in cemeteries in Alsace. After some decades, the tombs are "recycled", due to lack of space. As to war memorials, a French website gives lists of names found on such momuments or other sources. See: <http://www.memorial-genweb.org/~memorial2/html/fr/> then click on département (67 = Bas-Rhin, 68 = Haut-Rhin). Surname searches can also be done.

Hello, Has anyone seen (or photographed) tombstones in Heiligenstein's cemetery? My parents visited the town and the cemetery in the 50's or 6o's. They found a large numer of Goepp tombstone, wanted to meet some living Goepps, saw from afar a man digging graves, spoke to him and asked where they cold find some living Goepps? He said, "I'm a Goepp." He put them in touch with some people in the village. (I told my mother that now I know where I get my love of gardening...) Both my parents have died, and I only wish the computer could have aided them then, and they could have had the resources we have now. Thanks in advance. Lucy Battersby

Hello listers   I have a few records that are written in Kurrent Script that I really need translated. All of the records are on the Bas Rhin site. The first record is in Durstel birth An X, page 4/6. Frederich Dolter.   Thank you very much! Stephan

Hi List, Just a thought about tombstones. This has raised long discussions on some other sites and I don't mean to do that here, but... burial and cemetery care and rotation/recycling varies greatly in Europe compared to North America. If one isn't aware of that you can feel like you are banging your head against a stone wall. Hopefully the village you are looking for still has their cemetery intact. In the case of mine, the mayor of the village had all the tombstones removed and destroyed in the 1950s. The cemetery that is there now is "new" and of little use when searching ancient dates. But, there is another possible source available in some villages. That is the war monuments or memorials to fallen soldiers. I have been able to use these to verify both family and witness names found on birth, marriage or death certificates. You know at least they came from that village and so you can follow up from there.
