Boyval dit Valois My Valois (a French name) appeared in Rastatt in 1768-a marriage. Louis had been born in Strasbourg in 1738. He was a Hussar in the Baden military. So he got to Rastatt before 1768--when? He married another trooper's daughter. Their name? Corde\Corte\Di Corte. How--by what means or route did my ggrandfather, in late 1849 get from Rastatt to Le Havre? Robert A. Valois

It looks like today it is 6 hours and 31 min by car.  So I would think wagon or coach might be a good guess from Rastatt to Strasbourg then train to Le Havre.   This is a good write up for someone going from Basel to Strasbourg to Le Havre.. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SWITZERLAND/2000-04/0956068808 Laura >________________________________ > From: "RValois368@aol.com" <RValois368@aol.com> >To: baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com >Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 10:43 AM >Subject: Re: [BW] travel to America > > >Boyval dit Valois > >My Valois (a French name) appeared in Rastatt in 1768-a  marriage. >Louis had been born in Strasbourg in 1738.
