Swiss Genealogy Information
As of this time, I have verified my direct Swiss ancestry back as far as records permit. I have only cousins and their ancestry left to verify. I have also received some information directly from Switzerland for my patrilineal lineage.

Notes:

• In 1680 in Niederurnen, that town's original vital records for the period 1601-1680 were destroyed by fire.  The town's current archives hold a reconstruction of the destroyed records, but there are gaps and omissions.



• The surname of "Störi" from Hätzingen appears to be erroneous.  Whoever read and submitted those records to the LDS Church web site misread Stüssi, improperly spelled as Stüßi in that town's records; misreading ü as ö and ß as R.



• As of 05/15/2005, my swiss ancestry consists of:
  • 563 Direct ancestors, in
  • 282 Families, covering
  • 70 Locations, referenced in
  • 482 Sources.


• Out of the 252 positions that comprise my 3rd through 8th great grandparents:
  • There are 40 open slots representing unknown ancestors, and
  • There are 54 duplicative slots as a result of cousin marriages.
