Sterno Safe For Smores

Alerheim, or the enigma of Palaeography

the turning of a register of the parish of "The Tuna " in the Vosges, an unusual page ... The "register" includes the acts of disorder ranging from 1662 to 1686, with shortages, pages in Latin or French! There is the marriage of our ancestor Claude Rousselot celebrated in 1680.

The Tuna, on the Saone very young (born Viomenil) includes Small and Large Tuna, is located on the borders of Lorraine, Franche-Comté and Champagne:


document that intrigues me is spoiled, is not writing the usual cure the place is written in broken French which we guess a lot of words phonetically transcribed. The document is not signed nor dated:
Transcript literal

Then began the investigation and false leads:
- The date: Thursday, August 3 direct research towards 1673 or 1679 period covered by the register in question. Hence the visit of all the battles of the war with Holland led by Louis XIV between 1672 and 1678.
- On place:
  • phonetically, " darlaimme " evokes Haarlem, instead of a memorable place a century earlier in 1573 ... but ... no locality around unlike what is written, except perhaps the first river mentioned that one can read " Spierne " which is another name for "Spaarne" which wets Haarlem ...
  • Mortagne? Mortaigne ... ?
  • Risse IJssel =?
  • - other avenues without success:
  • Arnhem ( It was taken by Louis XIV in 1672) or
  • Naarden ( taken July 20, 1672, taken by William III in 1673) Netherlands
  • or
  • Dalhem close Maastricht ... or
  • Aarlen Arlon-Belgium ( in August 1673, King Louis was the Maastricht Nancy, can pass through Arlon).
  • ...
- the generals:

THE truth on testimony Tuna:


The Battle of Alerheim close Norlaingue [ Nördlingen ] countries Ries * [ current Kreis Donau-Ries ] confines of Swabia [ Schwabe ] on the river Wernitz [ Wörnitz ] on one side and the other stream Eger was given the third day of August, a Thursday [ 1645].
started between two and three hours after noon cannon and continued to pistol and sword until night and stayed on our side are the masters of the battlefield and their cannon and thank you [ Franz von Mercy ° 1590 Longwy, Lorraine; † August 3, 1645] and killed Glesne [ Gottfried Graf Huyn, Freiherr von Geleen 1595-1657] prisoner who were the generals commanding the army of Bavaria and that of Westphalia ...

So that's that actor was a citizen of Lorraine " The Tuna" in 1645, engaged the French side even though the Duke Charles of Lorraine fought alongside General Mercy with Croatian troops! France "occupied" Lorraine at the time of the battle (1641-1659) ... The Lord room was heavily involved in the armed services of the Duke of Lorraine Antoine du Chatelet, captain of the guards of the Duke, Errard du Chatelet, a general of artillery. His son, the Marquis Errard du Chatelet was aide de camp of Marshal Crequi ... who knows?
Perhaps the witness he is a close relative of Claude Rousselot sosa352 {} or {Catherine Rouvelin sosa 353 his wife} o)?

On site, a small monument commemorates the thousands casualties due to this battle:

funny story ...
