I looked closely at the original birth certificate and yes it could be a "r" instead of an "n". Sorry you could not send the attachment. Vista gets rather fussy for some reason. -----Original Message----- From: alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of jeravold Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 6:20 AM To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [A-L] Looking for ancestors.... Marilyn: I tried twice to send you at your personal e-mail address the following message with an attachment (Word document): "I believe the village you are refering to is Cosswiller and not Cosswillen. Département : 67-Bas-Rhin, postal code : 67310. Région : Alsace. The attached map will show you where it is located : close to Wasselone, as you wrote, and less than 30 kilometers from Strasbourg (i.e. less than 20 miles)."

I need the exact spelling of where my gr grandfather's birth place is as I have the home town of Cosswillen and someone told me this was not correct. Could someone tell me how it is spelled. It is North east france on the border of Germany. I also have the city Hall which is called Mairie de Cosswillen. I assumed my relative got the birth certificate from there. Cannot read the mother's full name as the copy I have is very bad. He came over here sometime I think in the late 1850's. I know he married my gr grandmother in 1864 at Portland, WI. I wish I could find when he came over but cannot find any ship. I assume he would have shipped out of France. His name was Peter Christmann but of course on the birth certificate it Pierre. -----Original Message----- From: alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Karl Roussin Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 9:10 PM To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [A-L] Looking for ancestors.... pmal69 For Your search Check out http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp or http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ or http://www.surnamenavigator.org/ Just fill out the blanks , and click " search " , or " go " If the records are not entered , then You may have to order some films , of that town ( if You find a towns name ), of that time , from the FHC library Karl Roussin ----- Original Message ----- From: <pmal69@aol.com> To: <ALSACE-LORRAINE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 5:06 PM Subject: [A-L] Looking for ancestors.... > Surnames:?
