** This site can be viewed on computer or mobile, however navigation is better on a computer **
This purpose of this website is to honor and preserve the history of our Alsatian Ancestors, who immigrated to America in 1844-1845, from Alsace - Wittelsheim and Soppe-le-haut. We hope to keep their stories alive, the colonization of Castroville, Texas, and those of their children and grandchildren.
Thank you for your patience over the months while this site is being re-built ~ Toni
