My Grandfather (James CRAIG) is buried in Aix Noulette Cimitrie Commune (Extension)
Aix Noulette
Pas - de - Calais.

I'd be interested in corresponding with anyone else who has someone buried there. I have a photo of the gravestone and a general one of the cemetry but I would certainly like to know more about the cemetery and the area. Having googled, I felt it would be good to have something more direct.

I am also in the process of setting up an online forum for this cemetery:
http://aixnoulettecmie.proboards.com/index.cgi

I hope it becomes a link between us all.

Thanks,

James.

Any relation to Bernice Tuemler? Simon emigrated to the states in his 20's. He was Lena Niehaus' father-in-law. I think his father's name was also Simon and I am trying to find his hometown in Alsace-Lorraine. Did you need any more info on the Niehaus'? I have indication that they came from Opa.

For some reason or many, I had not seen this post to reply.
I do not believe I have seen these names but will check again. Do you at this time have any better idea of the village the family came from?
You may wish to email geneanet.org and request help from those of the Lorraine Genealogy Circle.
I have a book that I will use to look up your family name but please email me at penny.conrad02@yahoo.com to get your answer and remind me.

Mary,
My apologies for my tardiness. I haven't visited this site for awhile due to some other family needs.
I did find some Mueller's. Do you know the villages your family came from?
The names I have would have been from Leiderscheid, Waldhause, and areas near.
I will check the names out this weekend and get back. If you would, please email me at penny.conrad02@yahoo.com.

I am also interested in the Neihaus family of Ky/Ohio you have listed in your profile.
I am living in NKy. and my Schmeusser family may have connection with yours.

I have had confirmation from this cemetery that my grandfather is buried there -

BAXTER Robert David 51 ans né en Angleterre a WHITTY inhumé le 17 06 1924 au M1r12c

(Whitty should be Whitby)
A photograph of a grave was attached to the e-mail, but it was the grave of one Eugenie Laclotte 1873-1933.

I have e-mailed them asking whether this is the correct photo and whether he could be buried beneath her but unfortunately have not had a reply!

Is anyone be able to visit this cemetery and locate his grave please?

I am looking for parents of my gr-gr-grandfather, Simon Schmitt,born 1826. I have a feeling that his father's name was also Simon but I'm not sure. Seems to be a very common name in that part of France. Have already been to the area seeking information but found nothing definitive.

Re: Military Cemetery at Limey

cmiked — 2012-04-02 04:17:13Z

My grandfather was buried here as well. We visited in 1999 with out all the information available today. We got there with my mom and all she had was the original letter from 1945. We found the cemetery and Limey and fortunately there was a caretaker there. As someone else said, they were very friendly once they knew why you were there. He directed us to the Saint-Mihiel American Cemetery nearby. They looked up my grandfather and we hightailed it to the Lorraine Cemetery as we were heading back to Paris that evening. The gentlemen that met us were super nice. That was the first time my mom ever saw where her dad was buried. It was an adventure I'll never forget.

I am please after a headstone photo or the inscription from the grave of Louisa Elizabeth Dodd buried in the Calais Cemetery 1st Feb. 1855 . Not sure how many cemeteries there would have been in Calais in the 19th century, the Calais Southern Cemetery is a Civil Cemetery so that's probably the one.

Graves in Alsace (Mulhause)

plymouth4856 — 2011-11-27 04:19:53Z

I am trying to locate the graves of some of my ancestors who lived in Mulhause. My great-great grandfather, Simon Studer, died on December 23, 1926 in Mulhause, France. He was from Moosch, France and he was Catholic. His wife Marie Antonise Studer (maiden names: Cordonnier and Bischoff) died October 4, 1930. It is possible that they are buried either in Mulhause or Moosch based on family letters. If anyone has any information about the cemeteries in this area or how to find cemetery records, I would appreciate it!

Lisa, I think you would have more success if you would post the details you have about your great grandmother (full name, husband's name, children, birth dates/places for all) on the appropriate board for La Rochette (see Localities > Western Europe > France). Someone with local knowledge may be able to help you.

Good luck!

Re: Cemeteries in Savoie Region of France

lwalshmill — 2011-09-27 15:28:10Z

Thank you Lucie!
I'm thiking that any cemeteries in LaRochette would proobably be very old. My great grandmother lost 4 babies within the first year of their life while living in La Rochette at the turn of the century, and I'm wondering how to find out where they would be buried. There were many deaths of young children and babies in those years, and I am surprised that there are no civil documents about burials -- especially since the French records are so well preserved!

Thank you for the information, I will spend some time going through it and seeing if it can help me. I never had any luck with the Fin-A-Grave web site, but it's worth trying again!

Merci,
Lisa

Hi:

There does not seem to be a cemetery in La Rochette, Savoie (73) - (odd!) - see:
http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/annuaire/la-rochette-73/cimetieres
which will refer you to 6 cemeteries nearby, one of which is in Chambery.

Here is another site for cemeteries in Chambery (73) Savoie - two cemeteries:
http://association.118000.fr/v_chambery_73/c_cimetiere

Also you can search by looking in the site Fin-A-Grave:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gs&;

Good luck.

Re: Military Cemetery at Limey

RabbitTrack — 2011-06-28 15:02:12Z

My brother was just there one day ago. He said the people of the Village of Limey are very happy to help once they know why you are there. He sent us a picture of a wheat field where the cemetery was. During the war many of the local people cared for the graves. Below is what my brother sent me:
"The cemetery was 1 km northeast of Noviant-aux-Pres.. (paste into google maps, or google Earth: 48°51'2.34"N 5°53'11.50"E) but they called it the Limey Cemetery... maybe because the soldiers in charge of it were based at a big "house" in Limey. The cemetery is no longer there.. just fields. It was across the road from the WWI French military cemetery."
