I didn...Do those men look like brothers or what?<br />I didn't realize that your ancestry is from there...it is soooo cool that you are finding more out about them. A friend in CH who was high up at the Swiss Federal Aviation, still lived in his ancestral home (a town/village near Luzern) - and he had a very old bible with the entries of all births and marriages. I also recall that he had records of his people from early days in a book. You should have a grand time at the town records - Swiss are great record keepers.<br />My husband's last name is Brubaker - and they were emmigrants from CH too - Bruppacher back there. We tracked down a village (5 houses) on the hills along Zurichsee - did not occur to me to look thru official records.<br />I also went to Rye, NY last summer, where my mother-in-laws family was from and took photos from the local paper archives of various announcements & of the ancestral graves. So pleasing to have that connection to the past.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098034737961019226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771974470951187283.post-9767274596298066792010-01-17T16:49:53.922+01:002010-01-17T16:49:53.922+01:00That is amazingly kewl.

I didn't get to do any when I was in Scotland and England, I would love the chance to do so in the future.Celehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471318342104018488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771974470951187283.post-42137422212351851962010-01-17T08:01:34.337+01:002010-01-17T08:01:34.337+01:00How utterly fascinating, Janet.
