Hi - Mary Ann, who was looking for her HOLLE family, had sufficient information to help her find her ancestors in the village of Mothern. She had the names of 2 of her ancestors, their dates of birth and marriage. Using the AGAWE website http://www.agawe-genealogie.com/indexe.htm we were able to determine that the family surnames HOLLE and KNAUB were both listed in the extracted Mothern marriage book published by AGAWE. Members of AGAWE were kind enough to do a check and sent her the extracted Marriage info along with other HOLLE marriages. It is now in the hands of Mary Ann to follow through and locate the rest of her Alsatian lines. This website is for Bas-Rhin and only includes certain areas. Check the site to determine if a book or books have been published for your village(s). Their village extractions and publishing of their findings is an on-going project. The work is very demanding and time consuming. Needle in the haystack was found. Let's hope that those of you who are still looking for that elusive village are as fortunate. Charlie Homosassa, FL
La Mairie : En 1610, les habitants de la commune ont construit notre Mairie « La Halle », financée par les Princes de Nassau. Fierté du village par son allure dominante, ce magnifique édifice renaissance faisait office de tribunal seigneurial, de prison et de marché aux grains. Inscrit aux monuments historiques, il fait office, de nos jours, de mairie. http://www.info-ab.com/liens.asp?commune=79&canton=22&pro=416 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlie" <csherida@tampabay.rr.com> To: <alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 9:14 PM Subject: [A-L] HOLLE Suname and Village Resolved > Hi - > > Mary Ann, who was looking for her HOLLE family, had sufficient information > to help her find her ancestors in the village of Mothern.
