SO SORRY! I forgot to add the leter fro Jean-Luc Fechter. Here it is:

DEAR COUSIN LAURA AND TO ALL FACTOR'S
MY NAME IS JEAN-LUC FECHTER, LIVING IN OBERROEDERN ALSACE FRANCE. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN GENEALOGY FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS.I HAVE 4 FECHTER LINES IN THE USA OR I SHOULD SAY WE HAVE, AND THE FITH I JUST DISCOVERED RECENTLY AFTER A FEW YEARS OF RESEARCH IS YOUR LINE !
SO THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING YOU DID NOT KNOW SO FAR IS THAT YOU HAVE MUCH MUCH MORE FECHTER COUSINS IN THE US.
MATHIAS FACTOR WAS ORIGINALLY BORN FECHTER AND HE EMIGRATED FROM STUNDWILLER (LOWER RHINE) TO THE US WITH HIS FAMILY IN 1840, SOMETHING LIKE APRIL MAY WHERE HE BECAME A FACTOR!. HE WAS A BROTHER TO MY G.G.GRANDFATHER.
I ALSO PLAN TO COME TO THE US IN THE EARLY SUMMER IN ORDER TO INVESTIGATE ON THAT BRANCHE. WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD KEEP IN TOUCH. YOU ALSO CAN CALL ME FOR MORE INFORMATION : 03 88 80 00 56; SATURDAY MORNING OR LATE EVENING WOULD BE A GOOD TIME.
MY BEST TO YOU AND ALL FACTOR'S
JEAN-LUC
