I don't know precisely what this question was about as I couldn't read
it. But I will try to give you some historical details I know about this
area.
Alsace Bossue, or in German Krummes Elsass, is sometimes called "Hilly
Alsace" in English. But in fact this name
Is anyone out there working on the Loux name from France, U.S.,
Kentucky, Ohio? Nicholas Loux m. Mary Ida Gasdorf in Ky cir 1870. Any

Hi
My question is was after the Prussians took over in 1871 what did
Keskastel, Bas-Rhin, France become officially known as? Was it
Keskastel,
Germany or Keskastel, Prussia? Did the Germans also change the name of
the
states/departments of Bas-Rhin & Haut-Rhin back to Upper & Lower Alsace
or
exactly what? When exactly in 1871 did this change take place?
Then again in during the 2nd WW, Keskastel region and I suppose most of
France became once more part of Germany...? What would be the proper
way t
In regards to the question of Alsace-Bossue...I do have an understanding and
I will atttempt to answer the question, however, I would feel better if one
of the French subscribers to this list would explain. So I will ask Robert
Weinland, Pascal-Herve Schauber or Fabrice to please respond. In the
meantime it is my understanding that Alsace Bossue is translated to mean in
English "Hunchback Alsace" and this is due to the shape of the borders
surrounding that part of Bas-Rhin which is located on the wes

The first Helmlinger in Alsace Bossue was Balthasar. He was a soldier in
Lichtenberg. He died in Bischwiller on the 11/7/1679 at the age of about 70
and was buried in Oberhoffen ( quite near Bischwiller).
Around 1828 a lot of emigrants went to Ohio in Clay Township. One of the
fist was Ludwig Helmlinger and his wife Christina Munsch.They are may be
your ancestors?

Hi to the list
I didn't see any question on the list John. I suppose you received one about
the meaning of Alsace Bossue.
You're right : the translation from French could be "hunchback Alsace".
In Alsacian or in Lothringer Platt " Krumme Elsass" is more " curved
Alsace".
Due to the shape of this part of the Bas-Rhin departement, surrounded North,
West an South by the Moselle departement.
I don't know about historical, political or religious reasons.
This "nickname" is still used nowadays.

Hello to all Alsace Bossue list members,
Hello John,
I'm seeking all information about the surname SCHAUBER all around the world.
But I'm unable to go further with my own tree.
Mostly in Keskastel and Herbitzheim.
My biggest problem is about Johannes SCHAUBER :
(o about 1663, +Sep 10 1730 in Keskastel)
(oo1 , ? , Barbara STETTLIN)
(oo2 , ? , nov 06 1725, Catharina FLORENTIN in Keskastel)
It seems as there was no Schauber in Keskastel prior than 1700.
Where did he come from ? Was he "alone" to come to Kesk
I am wondering if I should be on this mailing list. My ancestors are
HELMLINGER's from Ingwiller and Eckartsville in Bas-Rhin. Is this the right

Hello,
It is as far back as the 12th century that an event that have had
consequences on the History of Alsace Bossue till now occured. If this
territory is now part of the departement of Bas-Rhin and of Alsace, but
not of Lorraine, it is because of the coming out of Counts of Saarwerden
dynasty. This is very well explained by Dagobert FISCHER in his work
entitled "Histoire de l'ancien comte de Saarwerden et de la prevote de
Herbitzheim" (History of the former County of Saarwerden and of the
