Hello ~ This is a message, offering a small suggestion to those researching Alsatain genealogy (or just wanting to chat about the region) : the site "Bienvenue en Alsace! Welcome to Alsace! Willkommen im Elsaß!" Resources available include mailing lists, message boards, and chats. Languages available: Français, Elsassisch, English, Deutsch. You can access the site on any one of the following URLs: http://www.alsace-genealogy.fr.st http://www.welcome-to-alsace.fr.st http://www.bienvenue-en-alsace.fr.st http://www.alsace-genealogie.fr.st http://www.willkommen-im-elsass.fr.st Take your pick -- whichever is easiest to remember. ;-) Good luck in your searches! -Jacques W <alsacelist@aol.com>
