Alsace is a great place to hail from, and Dijon is one of the prettiest places in France!

My husband and I have made quite a few trips to U.K, but only two months ago we went back to find as I say “some ghost in my families closet”. We did and I’m proud to say that I actually stood on the soil that my ancestors toiled some 400 years ago in Gillingham, Kent. I am however finding it hard to trace back on my German ancestors because I’ve been told that all records were burnt during WWII, but I still intend to TRY to find something as family history I feel is very important to know where ones “grass-roots” are. Lovely to hear of your families history and that you’ve met up with some of them.
