Vörstetten, Baden is a 1000-year old village near Freiburg, Germany. It is called the village of half-timbered houses and fruit trees -- "Dorf der Fachwerkhäuser und Obstbäume." Carved into the timbers of many of the old houses in Vörstetten are the names of the builders (wives' maiden names, too!) and the date the houses were built. Here are some pictures of Vörstetten.
See nach Amerika for information on emigration from Vörstetten.
(Roger's German line, many of whom came from Vörstetten is in an ahnentafel chart found elsewhere. The index below is for all of Vörstetten, not just Roger's ancestors.)
I have a file of people who were born, married, or died in Vörstetten from 1676 to 1955 - mostly early records. The file contains full names for over 2000 people, their years of birth and death, and the names of their fathers and spouses. The file is not complete; there are a lot more names and dates to enter.
