Bonjour,
En faisant des recherches sur mon grand oncle Louis Wagner (le frère de ma grand mère paternel), je suis arrivé sur votre site et j’ai trouvé beaucoup de documents que je connaissais pas, en particulier la coupe Vanderbilt.
Encore merci
Alain

Hello,
In researching my great uncle Louis Wagner (brother of my paternal grand mother) , I came to your website and I found a lot of documents that I did not know, especially the Vanderbilt Cup.
Thanks again
