Many thanks to the off-list writer of the following: "Elizabeth Houpert, sa veuve domiciliée à Virming, est décédée en son domicile à Hellimer, et ont les déclarants signé avec nous… E.H., his widow, living in Virming, died at her home in Hellimer" I substituted the phrase "sans occupation" for "sa veuve". It didn't really look like "sans occupation", but I couldn't find another phrase in my dictionary. So it isn't Elizabeth's child who died; it's her mother! And in Hellimer ~ a film I plan to view tonight at the Family History Center! What perfect timing! Thank you again J! It's all relative, Laura PS - Do we have an ancestor in common?
