    1. RICHES in Alsace
    2. William Rich
    3. I just recently found a lot of information about my ancestors in Alsace, France. Camille RICH was born in Guebwiller, Alsace, France in 1869. He emigrated to NY in 1890, with his wife Therese Heine. He had three children, Ernest RICH(b. 1890), Emily Millette and Helen RICH, who died at 16. I also found a mention of Camille's brother, Paul RICH, who was living in Flushing in 1933. Paul must have also been born in Guebwiller and emigrated later. We believe that Paul's name at birth was Thiebaut, but changed it in America. If this is true, he was born in 1880. Any information on Paul(Thiebaut) RICH or Emily Millette (spelling?) would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have a good deal of info on the early ancestors, dating back to the 1600's in the Guebwiller area. The valley there is called the Florival, or valley of flowers. The RICH name was quite common there in the 1600-mid 1800's. Thanks, William RICH
