The Alsace-Lorraine region

*This is a partner event. Dr. Richard Haberstroh, AG, will describe the details of two separate genealogical studies, both focused on locating the birthplace of Alsatian immigrants to the United States in the 19th century without locating any document that specifically names their town of origin in Alsace. Various useful search strategies are presented, as are some interesting and important characteristics of various Alsatian records available to researchers. Also critical to these cases is the significance of circumstantial evidence and how it can be used to form convincing arguments for the conclusion as to the birthplaces of the immigrants. Dr. Richard Haberstroh is an accredited German genealogist who has been deeply involved in genealogical research both in the U.S. and Germany since 1984. Register.
