Greetings Researchers: Would anyone know about a book or.... other document that would have information about immigrants from the city of Metz to America in the mid 1700's. I have a World War I map of France that shows Metz on a river (can't make out the name bad eyes) and at this time Metz appears to be in the Province?? of Lorraine. The reason for my searching for info on Metz is that there is a town in WV named Metz and one would assume that it was named for the Metz in Lorraine. Hoping to find my family info. Which in this country is spelled Efaw but might be also Efaugh, Ephaw, Efau, Easau etc. Any help very, very much appreciated. bob e -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for home users.
