This is a rather old message, but some of us are pretty sure our Baysingers hailed from the Alsace, now a French area. I post it here hoping some French-speaker can take advantage of this resource.

These titles belong to the Monographies des villes et villages de France collection, which has been recommended in 1989 by the French ministry of Tourism. It allows everyone to meet again with one’s roots, and it’s a precious help for genealogists and everybody who wants to know bygone customs, remarkable characters and events in the past of France. You will have over 650 links towards French cities web sites too. All these addresses are sometimes hard to find by searching them with search engines. We hope that your trip in Histo.com will combine the pleasant with the useful... Gwenaël d'Avrey Le Livre d'histoire http://www.histo.com monographies@infonie.fr
