The vital records (births, marriages, and deaths) for this region are freely accessible online. You will need to know the place name (community, village, in French, the “Commune”) The Records What is special: The church records are under the Civil Registry Offices – the “Etat Civil” (Civil Records). What is easier when dealing with these records - the names are also on the sides of the record pages. After each year, there is usually an Index of all the names for that particular year. In addition, after every ten years, there should be another Name Index for the decade. Translation Various options - you can print the page or enlarge the text and work letter by letter, word by word with the Familysearch.org French Genealogy Word List (on the FamilySearch.org website under the Search and Wiki link.) In the MGC collection is a very helpful book: Following the Paper Trail: A Multilingual Translation Guide, by Jonathan D. Shea & William F. Hoffman. It is available for checkout or interlibrary loan.

  • Meurthe-Et-Moselle Department Chooses 100% Renewable and 50% Local Electricity for Its Buildings with Its Partner ENGIE
    Igney (54), Friday 7 February 2020 PRESS RELEASE Meurthe-et-Moselle Department chooses 100% renewable and 50% local electricity for its buildings with its partner ENGIE Mathieu Klein, Meurthe-et-Moselle Regional Council President, Christelle Bridey, Regional Delegate for Lorraine with ENGIE’s French & Regional Institutions Division, and Jérôme Delannoy, ENGIE’s business unit “Entreprises & Collectivités” Director, have signed an agreement in line with the strong commitment made by both parties to establish Meurthe-et-Moselle as a model region for the zero-carbon transition. The agreement was signed in Igney (54) on Friday 7 February at 10:45am. This agreement covers a contract to supply renewable electricity for the department’s buildings and to provide educational support for high school students. On 1 January 2020, all of the regional council’s properties switched to electricity supplies that are guaranteed to have been generated in France and certified as renewable. From 2021, the electricity will be produced by the Haut des Ailes windfarm. 106 buildings are benefiting from electricity that is not only 100% renewable, but will also be generated locally from 2021. PPAs, essential for the zero-carbon transition This is the first time that a regional municipality in France has used the power purchase agreement (PPA) approach. The regional council has chosen to adopt this new type of contract, based on direct renewable electricity purchases between producers and consumers, which will enable it to introduce a greener energy mix. A market leader for renewable energies, ENGIE Entreprises & Collectivités is making it easier for its customers to move forward with their “zero-carbon transition” to consume less and better, reducing their energy consumption and promoting green energy use.

  • FOR the RECORDS Researching Alsace and Lorraine
    VOL. 11, NO. 2 — FEBRUARY 2018 FOR THE RECORDS Researching Alsace and Lorraine Publications and websites mentioned in this article are listed in the bibliography. Alsace and Lorraine are storied, often contested lands located in eastern France on its border with Germany and the Low Countries. Alsace (see map, right), at 3,196 square miles, is about one-quarter larger than the state of Connecticut1. Lorraine (see map, page 4), at 9,089 square miles, is just slightly smaller than the state of Vermont2. Along with Champaign-Ardenne, they form the modern region Grand Est whose regional capital and largest city is Strasbourg. The historic Alsace Region was the smallest in metro- politan France, made up of two departments, Bas-Rhin in the north and Haut-Rhin in the south. The region features a large plain about four times longer than it is wide and situated between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. Prior to the Franco-Prussian War, Al- sace, specifically the Haut-Rhin, also included the Ter- ritoire de Belfort. When the Germans took control over the rest of Alsace, it became the smallest department in France, and was attached to Franche-Comté and is now part of Bourgogne- Franche-Comté. The historic Lorraine Region was much larger and con- sisted of four departments, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle, and Vosges. The territory included the histori- ALSACE cal Duchy of Lorraine, Barrois, the Three Bishoprics (Metz, Verdun, and Toul), and a number of small prin- Alsace includes the French départements of Haut-Rhin (Upper Rhine) and Bas-Rhin (Lower Rhine) | Map cipalities.

  • Mercy on Rude Streams: Jewish Emigrants from Alsace-Lorraine to the Lower Mississippi Region and the Concept of Fidelity
    Mercy on Rude Streams: Jewish Emigrants from Alsace-Lorraine to the Lower Mississippi Region and the Concept of Fidelity by Anny Bloch an an act of implied rejection actually be an act of affirma- tion? Is it possible to remain faithful to one's country by C leaving it? In the mid to late nineteenth century, Jews left the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine in eastern France and emi- grated to the American South, particularly to the area along the Mississippi river. At least one wave of emigration can be inter- preted as rejecting the onslaught of encroaching German hegemony after 1871 rather than a repudiation of the French heri- tage of which they were proud. This study attempts to identify how Jewish emigrants from Alsace-Lorraine to the United States perceived the notions of fidelity and infidelity; that is to say, the diverse ways of pledging allegiance to their new country as well as maintaining some ties to their native land. Instead of loyalty or disloyalty, the terms of "fidelity" and "infidelity" have been chosen because the former notions have political connotations associated with citizenship. Fidelity, too, may convey political associations, particularly loyalty to a country and to its laws, but it also con- notes affiliations especially to values as well as cultural and religious traditions. Fidelity implies memory, an attitude to- ward the past that opts for continuity that remains a discrete element on the adjustment to a new environment in a new coun- try. Thus it overlaps with the concept of the maintenance of tradition. 82 SOUTHERN JEWISH HISTORY Typically associated with acculturation, the antonym infi- delity is understood as leaving one's country, surrendering allegiance to the native land, and foregoing the regular practice of familiar language and cultural habits.
