Looking at http://www.genealogy.tm.fr/acte.htm if your grandparents were from Alsace Lorraine, the surname Thiery is most likely from the department des Vosges, Bles from Moselle. Metz is rather common in Alsace... You will need to gather more information about them in the US to narrow down the are they came from. - Giliane -----Original Message----- From: alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of pmal69@aol.com Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 6:06 PM To: ALSACE-LORRAINE@rootsweb.com Subject: [A-L] Looking for ancestors....
