Bouxieres aux chenes Church records  # 1135385    Saw a reference to a NOEL and possible GERARD think it may be NICHOLAS. There is no index however at the end of some years there is a list of children baptised. Maybe Dann Norton ancestor in on this film Nicholad Gerard I doubt our NOEL. I have reviewed most of it and there are marriages to female Noels particular a Ann Noel recorder but none of  our ancestors.  Ted

Bromeilles, Loiret, France I checked FHC film #1039866 for the Quiers-sur-Bezondes and Notre Dame parishes of Bromeilles, Loiret, France. The film was hard to read, but most of it could be read. I found no records for any of the Seven Family names. This area is well removed from that in which we have found more frequent records of these families. I don't think it has any promise for our searches.

Colroy-La-Roche,  France - Bas-Rhin # 0746171 Church Records Eglise Catholique Sepultures 1686-1787 and other Birth and Marriage records not in our time frame. Records for 1690 - 1736 can be found in the middle of the film, Did not find anything, however the film, Latin Script, is very difficult to read.

Dinsheim, Bas-Rhin, France-FHL film #0733325  No Seven Families - Jim Ory

Evancelisch, France Bas-Rhin - # 0778658 German church Records Short film excellent records but no items of interest found.

LA Petite Raon  - #1115457  had a Barbara Noel with children by a Valatine Colins.  No other help.

Lenoncourt   1637 - 1792   # 1117626   The umlaut in the Noel name was findable but the records were mostly unreadable. I could not discern other surnames. Someone skilled in French may be able to find a few.

Monbozo -- Vesoul   Civil records   # 1077804    My copy of the micrfiche is not clear will have to relook at the microfiche. 

Raon aux Bois  and Paroissiaux Vosges, Lorraine 1644-1750  #1115618 were negative except for  Nicole Noel wife of Mathieu Pierre,1701. There were two Gerardin's in 1668.  This town is 50 miles SSE of Nancy.  DN

Waldersbach  # 0781533 It had a number of the passengers on the Princess Augusta.  It may have had others.  I spotted some names like Muller - Kommer etc but did not reconcile to the ages on the Princess Augusta list.  What I was looking for were NOEL'S and I did not find any.

Wisches, France - Bas-Rhin - # 1071086 & # 1071087 Church Records Eglise Catholique Latin Text Baptism-Marriage-Death 1735 - 1792 No Items of interest found.

1135385 I have look at this film up top about 1723 it is due back on 2/23/99 there is a Antion Robins and Ann Noel prior to 1723. Ted

Just South of St. Die is a major route N420 which runs north east.

Saulxures
Ranrupt
Colroy la Roche
Plaine
Neuviller la Roche
Rothau
SchirmeckLa Broque
Waldersbach   Film 1761695  item 8  Film 1761692  Item 7.

Some towns we have not looked at [don't know if they have films]

Fouday - 1639-1675  # 1761695
Diesbach - None
Blancherupt - 1793-1882

Ted

             I think we could, for example,   concentrate on comunities within a
             pentagonal area bounded by Hurbache, Anould, Ranrupt, Schirmeck and
            Celles sur Plaine.   Wayne
