Thanks for the reply. I am currently getting ready to travel to Belfort, along with some cousins, to see the villages where our ancestors lived. All of my research has been through microfilms, to date, so I am anxious to see the original records. The parish in the Belfort Territory where the family is the most numerous is Phaffans, and it is indexed on L.I.S.A.90.org. Might be worth a visit.
