Ewald,   Wow! I was just reading about Mr. Hein's work in another thread. I guess I will have to get myself a copy. I'm Doing this resaearch for a distant relative named Sean Dolter. I directed him to the list and hope he will sign on here shortly. He is going to be ecstatic to learn of this breakthrough. I had conversed with someone on GeneaNet about this family and he had some info from the "California Mennonite Historical Society" that also claimed the Switzerland ties. We were just starting to try and prove that connection and you have now given us a great lead on evidence. Thank you very much for your contribution. Steve
