I have some birth documents from around 1850 for my relatives from the alsace (thanks to a relative) , but now I would to go back further in time on my own. Can folks recommend a place to find a researcher who lives in the Alsace? Thanks. Paul Portland Oregon

Hello Paul If the records you seek were prior to 1900 why not try and go it alone. All of the records are online. For northern Alsace known as Bas-Rhin the records can be accesses at http://etat-civil.bas-rhin.fr/adeloch/index.php And for southern Alsace or Haut-Rhin http://www.archives.cg68.fr/Services_Actes_Civils.aspx . You will need to know the Commune(town) and learn some basic terms. If you enjoy learning about your past it can be quite rewarding. Good Luck Steve ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, June 8, 2011 5:00:02 PM Subject: [A-L] Research I have some birth documents from around 1850 for my relatives from the alsace (thanks to a relative) , but now I would to go back further in time on my own.

Thank you all for your emails. I used http://etat-civil.bas-rhin.fr/adeloch/adeloch_flash/adeloch_flash.php, and in an hour already found two records that I hoped for in the 1788 role. I made copies by printing to a PDF. This is wonderful. I will look for more later. I have a German transcriber who has done some old Bavarian records for me. I will contact her again about these. I can speak German. I can make out names and some dates and key terms, but I cannot translate the whole document because I cannot read the old script. best, Paul On Dé Céadaoin, 8 Meitheamh, 2011, at 18:06, Stephan Wall wrote: > Hello Paul > > If the records you seek were prior to 1900 why not try and go it alone.
