I finally found the death certificate for my gggg-grandfather Moise
WALDHORN who died in 1843at the age of 90 in Goersdorf, Bas Rhine.

It states his parents were "SACHS, Jacques" and "ROSENTHAL, Jeannette"
both >from Ilfeld.

Can any one help me find more information about Ilfeld. Also, does anyone
know if records exist for the early to mid 1700's for Ilfeld and how to
access them? Thank you. L'Shana Tovah,

Linda Gilmore Chelmsford, Massachusetts

MOD NOTE: Within the past 2 months we posted the URL for a web page that
gives the French and German names of towns in the Bas Rhin area. If you
locate that resource via a GerSig archives search
<http://www.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.isa?jg~jgsys~sigspop>;
it may help you find this town under an alternate name or spelling.

A soundex search via the JewishGen Shtetl Seeker at:

may also be helpful. MOD 1
