Hi Margot and Rod, Rod's ancestor John Switzer was likely a brother of my ancestor Ann Switzer - both children of Adam SWITZER and Barbara DOLMAGE. My question to Margot is, does the "History of the Switzers ..." refer to John's parents or siblings? To Rod, do you have any details on what happened to John's siblings?
