Sorry Arlene, I am no help but interested. If any one replies to your query about Mulhouse.. One of my families left Mulhouse in 1857 for the states. Four boys and their mother. There may be information about the father did prior to 1857 in that area. The surname would be Nauert. The mother was Marie (Simon) , father was Joseph and boys John, Jacob, Peter and Nicholas. **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
