Hacheur de paille = straw chopper? Tisserand = weaver? Sage Femme = midwife? Aieule des precedents = grandmother of above? Chartier = map maker?? Tailleur D'habits = ?? I am connecting with Fessenheim, Haut-Rhin families: BADER, BENDER, BRENDER, FRISCH, LAEMLE, SCHMITT and WALDESPERGER, etc. I would enjoy comparing notes on these families and/or the local area and history.
