An Alsace Ancestry Adventure Tour:
We're searching for treasure!
You've got ancestors in Alsace (or Alsace Lorraine).
You've probably got some records or documents or just a few bits of info about your family here in Alsace too.
And what you do have probably doesn't feel like enough...something's missing. Maybe you know EXACTLY what it is and maybe you're not sure.
Do you really want to visit where your family lived?
Will it really be helpful to go there and see it 200+ years later?
And is it even possible to get more details about your family's life or anything about them?
Hi, I'm Suzele and I'm here to help you create a more interesting, one of a kind trip to Alsace France. There is a lot of useful information that you can use to plan your trip yourself... or... I can do ALL the work for you on a private tour made just for you!
Here's how I do Ancestry Tours here in Alsace...
If you've got names of villages or towns, we can go there. But NOT to just walk around and see the village.
We're going on a treasure hunt for clues + more info about your ancestors.
We're talking to people who can lead us to more details about your family.
There are no guarantees - but I seem to have lots of luck on these Ancestry Treasure Hunts. Here are some of the things we've found the past few years:
- Houses in the village where family members lived in the past
- Locations of where houses owned by the family (no longer standing)
- Distant living relatives
- Photos related to the family + their homes or lives
- Connections with local historians
- New records + documents
- What your ancestors did for a living
- Why your Alsace ancestors left their village
We also visit the village and the surrounding area.
You'll learn a lot about your ancestors' culture, traditions, food and way of life too.
And while it's hard to know the exact reason why they left in some cases - we can talk about the many reasons Alsatians did leave at different times in history.
We're going on an adventure...
Who knows what cool stuff we're find.
A Few Alsace Heritage Tour Reviews
Suzele,
We had a wonderful time with you last week. Thank you so much for making our trip special, and showing us where the Brecheisen ancestors lived.
JC, Lacey and Kayla, KS USA
We spent two days in Alsace with Suzele. The first day was spent visiting the area our family had come from. With her help we even found a house we believe a family member built and lived in. Her knowledge of the area and it's history is excellent.
The second day was pure fun sightseeing and wine tasting. Suzele was fun to be with.
Good company, excellent knowledge and a good value.

A Special Tour Focused on your Alsace Genealogy
There are two types of tours we can do to introduce you to your Alsatian heritage:
A Visit to the Areas your Alsace Family Came from
We can do the Alsace Ancestry Adventure Tour If you know which villages or towns your Alsace ancestors came from or lived in.
All genealogical records are categorized by village or town here in France. If you have the names of family from Alsace but you don't know which village, you can build your family tree.
Hopefully as you add to the different branches - some of them might mention the names of towns.
Most older handwritten records of people born in Alsace (or Alsace-Lorraine) include additional information like where other family members were born or died. They include witnesses (often family members too). So you can find these details if you persist.
And you only need one good clue to lead you to others (which I've done many times to find all sorts of new info).
It's not the only thing we can do to bring you closer to your Alsace roots, but it's my favorite way!
A Special Day Tour Focused on Traditions and Culture in Alsace
Sometimes you just don't know the names of the villages of your ancestors from Alsace. And even if you do know where to go, here are some of the wonderful things we can do outside of your ancestral village.
- Show you many of the everyday items your ancestors used, why they used them, what they did with them and more
- See what kinds of houses they probably lived in, what kinds of furniture they had and more
- Learn about what they celebrated, how they celebrated and more
- Learn about and eat what they really ate every day, on special days, how they cooked and more
- See how they dressed every day, on special occasions, where they got their clothes and more
- Learn about what they were afraid of, excited about, and more
- Learn about what was going on in their time period, why they left, and more
These are just some of the possible things we could talk about on a special day focused on your Alsace heritage and ancestry. So if you know about the time they arrived in your country, we have enough information to introduce you to quite a lot.
And of course, the more information you have on your Alsace genealogy, the better.
