Gary, Digital records (Church and Civil) for the Bas-Rhin (Alsace) area are accessible via the Bas-Rhin Departmental Archives website at http://etat-civil.bas-rhin.fr/adeloch/index.php. There is no charge to use the site and copies of the entries can be printed. The website is entirely in French. The records are written in Latin, German, or French depending on the type of record and the time of the event. Charlie located your family in Oberseebach and the records for this town can be accessed through these archives. Good luck with your research!
