Looking for a connection for Alfred Robert deAlba b. 1855 in Strasbourg. Came to Baltimore, MD, USA "as a boy" in news article dated 10 September 1893 and mentioned it was "the first time he had visited his birthland in 22 years". He was supposedly left $100,000 by his mother in Strasbourg "some time ago".  His mother had a will but I do not know her name. Alfred was an agent of a well-known French champagne firm.

Sorry Arlene, I am no help but interested. If any one replies to your query about Mulhouse.. One of my families left Mulhouse in 1857 for the states. Four boys and their mother. There may be information about the father did prior to 1857 in that area. The surname would be Nauert. The mother was Marie (Simon) , father was Joseph and boys John, Jacob, Peter and Nicholas. **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

Hi, I wondered if someone was presently working on the Mulhouse films. I am trying to locate a birth record for GEORGES VONACHEN, who left Mulhouse to come to the States in 1867 at age 22. This would put his birth year around 1845, if the dates are correct on the immigration record. George is a common name in my ancestry, so I'm trying to place this Mulhouse George!

Hello Robert Carpenter, Putting names in this paragraph it would read......... "Adam GRANTADAM (my note:GRANDADAM?), emigrated to the US with his brother, Francois GRANDADAM, and other people coming from Plaine and it's surroundings (names I know are Francois MARCHAL and his wife Marguerite (GRANDADAM) MARCHAL..............." (Perhaps also others but I don't know them). I'm trying to determine if Adam and Francois GRANDADAM are really brothers, or instead maybe cousins. I have never found Adam in the US records. This paragraph was included in a website on GeneaNet and I hope to email the person who posted it. Are you connected to these families? I'm interested in knowing....If you need more details please ask! Hope this helps!

Hi Ewald Thank you so much. Yes, that's Xavier...unfortunately the email is no longer good. With my Friend, Judie Cale Nelson, I've found 2-7 emails, and none were good.

Hi Rachelle, Sorry but no luck in Schleithal. I checked yesterday at the FHC and while I did have the birth film and there were a few SPILELMANNs from 1840 to 1844 it ended there with no Franz/Francois and no SPIELMANN after that and I checked to from about 1836-1856. I wish you good luck.

Hi Kenneth - there are a few census records, but nothing like we rely on in US, UK and Canadian research. Finding the village is the crucial bit for success in European research, and you'll need, most likely, to find it here in the US. More on that here: http://genweblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/european-research.html I have collected the best Alsace research links and hints here: http://genweblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/alsace.html I hope this is helpful, Valorie
