Mimi, did someone answered your question? Additional information: He gave 30000 Francs for the building of a spital in Kippenheim. Seems the house where he's born is still there (and a inscription) also the monument for him. He wrote a description of his life. Heirs of his estate were his sisters. I believe one lived in Lahr and the other in Heiligenzell. He gave also money to the town Hyéres in France where he lived. There is a kinship book for Kippenheim which can tell you his ancestors and relatives (if you find someone who owns the book). - Wendelin On Mon, 28 Nov 2005 07:35:04 -0800 Mimi <[email protected]> wrote: > I now have a Denization [Naturalization] paper from England for my > John STULZ.
