Hi brandsberg,

here's some background material to Alsace-Lorraine

http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/ELS-LOT/alsace.html

and here is my "rainy afternoon" tip:  go to  http://www.geneanet.org/

Enter
country: France,
district: Alsace
Name: FISCHER

you get 3267 entries.  Most of these are linked to web-sites with family trees.  If you browse around some of these sites, you could get lucky and recognise some names and places.

Good luck,
Bob
