Comment by Dan Hines on March 11, 2010 at 5:35pm: I have been researching my Mother's side of the family. They appear to come from Northern Switzerland. Family names Chrest and Rohr.

Comment by Tina Michelle (Whisenant) Baker on March 10, 2010 at 10:40am: Hi I have been researching my husbands side of the family. And they were from Michigan & Indiana areas but the Huber line had came from Switzerland. So was hoping to find out how to do research for Switzerland to confirm what I have found on census records. And to see if there is any relatives out there for my husband.

Comment by Fredric Z. "Rick" Saunders on January 28, 2010 at 4:49pm: Hello Delores,

You sent a message to everyone on the list, but I don't see a way to contact you individually, or your message here. Buchmüller is listed as having citizenship at 4 localities in Switzerland, [see http://history.swissroots.org/swissroots/en/stories/heritage/Geneal... ], one of which is Brittnau in Canton Aargau, and I would suspect is your "Brittnen." Note that Wyss also holds citizenship there, which may what you have as Wist.

Comment by Jessica Youness on January 28, 2010 at 2:20pm: Hello, my name is Jessica.
Genealogy is the "never ending" search... for me at least.
My family, on my mother's side, is Swiss. Most of them lived in Engi, Glarus, Switzerland.Their surname originally was Martis, then Marti, now Marty. Most of them finally settled in Minnesota, where I was born. I do have information, but sometimes I will meet "new family" or find an interesting story from long ago, maybe I can even help someone else. Never know.

Comment by James Robert Burgner on December 23, 2009 at 5:20pm: Hi, I've been researching my Burgner heritage and linked myself back to David, Christopher and Peter Burgner who Immigrated from Berne in 1734. I believe the name was Burgener before immigration. I'm glad to have found some fellow Swiss looking for long lost family history. Hope to get to know you and if you can help aid in my search I would be forever thankful

Comment by Viktor Wabel on October 4, 2009 at 11:11am: Hi,
I am researching my Wabel family. We originaly came from the German village Büsingen a.H. which is due to a unique historical event surrounded by Switzerland. The history of Büsingen is a mixture of Austrian, Swiss, German history.
With Genealogy I have been involved for around 15 years and I could gain through this time valuable experience in that field.
So I am looking forward to this forum... :-)

Comment by Debbe Hagner, AG on July 26, 2009 at 1:43pm: I am researching Hans Bindschädel in Bulach and Anna Mathys in 1670. I don't know when they died...
I have Johann Bindschäadel who married Susanna (last name unknown) about 1728 in Bulach or Unteröwisheim. I have the Ortsippenbuch for that town and it doesn't mention that they were married there...

Hans Bindschaedel's father is Sabestian b 1588 in Bulach and mother name is Verena Zander. They got married in 4 oct 1636

I would like to know who is Sabastian Bindschäadeler's parent name?

THe LDS films goes back to 1596... Is there anything before that time frame..

Comment by Fredric Z. "Rick" Saunders on July 25, 2009 at 9:11pm: Hi Donna,

Comment by Donna Gerber on July 25, 2009 at 8:33pm: I am looking for information on Christian DEPPEN, b. 20 December 1705 in Riggesberg, Canton Bern, m. to Veronica RUCHTY, daughter of Christian RUCHTY and Anna KAUFMAN. Also information on Henry RIESER, b. ca. 14 October 1730, Canton Bern, m. Maria Margaret.

Comment by Adam Rickle on July 24, 2009 at 3:53pm: I am looking for info on Henry Rickle (Rickli, Rickly) born 1836 in Switerland?, Died 4 May 1883 in New City, NY (Clarkstown). Married to Eva Katherin Fetig. I've been trying to link him back to Europe. My confusion stems from one Census listing him as Swiss and another as German. I believe Eva was from Barvaria but I'm not sure if they married before or after coming to the US. I don't have ready access to resources in NY so before I start sending checks out for a wild goose chase I'm trying to post up to different sites.
