Feel free to check my family tree at http://gw4.geneanet.org/index.php3?b=matulich Let me know if you have any matches to your research There is a tremendous amount of info on Geneanet, It is primarily a French site, but has other info as well.

I was able to get information from the Latter Day Saints that show that persons name Schang were born about the 1600's through the 1800's. In the area of Luneville, Meurthe-et- moselle, Folschviller,Moselle, Valmaont, Altvillier, Sengbus, St. Aold, Moselle, Vahl-ebersing, Vahl, Ebersing, Moselle, France. I did look at this website http://www.genealogy.tm.fr/acte.htm , but I realize I have to change it in to English to be able to read it. The information I have on my Schang family line links up to Josef Schang from Heufield, Hungary, Born: 1735, Died: 24Mar1813 was married to Susanne Portier. So my question is which would be my next step in following my family link? I understand it will be best to follow the family ancestry line back to where it began. Is there someplace or somebody I can contact? Thank you, Steve Schang (Michigan) -- WOW!
