Wolgemuth family in Balbronn,France

by Susan Cory
(Cody, WY United States)

My great grandma was Salome Wohlgemuth, from Balbronn, France. Born in 1879. She and her sister Marie Wohlgemuth came over to Pittsburgh, PA via Ellis Island in 1901. I have the trunk she used to travel to the United States. Would like to know if there are any Wohlgemuths still in Balbronn.

You'll have to come find out ;-)

You can't search for living people's records in France.

So the only way is to go where they are. And find out. Talk to people. Introduce yourself and see if anyone can help.

It helps if you speak French too.

But that's the only way I know to do it.

Not to mention visiting your ancestors' village is fun.

I do it all the time on tours when there's Alsatian ancestry.

Wishing you lots of luck,
Suzele
