Hi Listers, just to add to Ewald and other 's posts that SCHAWANG might well be a French name "germanized". An ending "-ong" or "-ang" might often refer to a French nasal vowel ("on", "an").

Thanks for this info. I know I have searched w/o the 1st A (SCHWANG) but never thought of trying without the G. I'll try that. I have always been told that we Schawangs here of German descent even through it looks like part of the time the family lived in the Alsace-Lorraine region, it was in French control. steph -----Original Message----- From: alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:alsace-lorraine-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Etienne Herrbach Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 2:42 AM To: alsace-lorraine@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [A-L] SCHAWANG genealogy Hi Listers, just to add to Ewald and other 's posts that SCHAWANG might well be a French name "germanized".
