Hi Charles, Try visiting the following webpage to sign up for the Switzerland list. I'm sending you the main URL for all the Swiss genealogy lists available at RootsWeb. First you could join "Switzerland", which is listed at the bottom. Later when you figure out what canton, maybe you could join one of those, too. So, click on the word "Switzerland" and it will take you to the page with the directions for signing up to the Switzerland list. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/CHE/ BTW, I would be cautious in assuming that the Guenther that was found and given to you is definitely yours. I don't think Guenther is a terribly rare surname and it might be a totally different person than the one you're looking for. But I hope it's not. :-) Good luck, Joanne In a message dated 02/11/2003 2:20:06 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > > Charles, > > You wrote: > > > "I recieved no reply from the last time I posted this message, so > thought I > > would try again.
