Question

I have many Swiss surnames in a spreadsheet, and I can look for your surnames.

Comments

Can you tell us more about what it is a spreadsheet of? Is it just a surname list or is it some sort of record index?

---

It contains a complete record of every BMD event in the church books of Wahlern and Guggisberg, along with the registers of the household members made by the Guggisberg pastors in 1715, 1736, and 1777. There is added data for Binggeli and associated families from every other parish we could find within 25 km of there.

Answer 1

Can you search Nusbaumer or Schwaller please, Bruce?

Comments

I have only a few (i,e, 12) line items of Nussbaum data.

Email me direct for an extract.

Answer 2

My surname is AMREIN and it is very common in Switzerland, How do you find out about more relations. They lived just outside the city of Luzern.

Comments

I'm sorry, but my research is centered in Canton Bern before 1770. Amrein does not appear there.

Hi Nick
The curchbooks of canton Lucerne are not online, but you can access the microfilms from 1875 and older through family search: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=161056&query=%2Bsubject%3ASwitzerland%20%2Bsubject%3ALuzern%20%2Bkeywords%3AChurch%20%2Bkeywords%3Arecords
