I am new to list. My Grandfather, Ludwig (Louie ) RYF,born !878 in Bern, Switzerland came to America in 1889 with his parents Kaspar and Marie Pfister RYF and 8 other children. We think they went to Foster Meadows to Kaspar's married sister's farm. She was Elisabeth RYF GEISER, wife of Johann Geiser. The GEISERS came from Switzerland around 1868. Within a few years after arriving there, The father Kaspar died in 1895, the son Fred drowned in 1893 and son, Frank died 1892, in accident falling off train he worked on. They are burried at the Presbyterian Church on Elmont Rd. in an unmarked grave in the Geiser plot. I find it impossible to reach someone at the church, to see where they are burried and hopefully put a stone there. Phone calls to no avail. I am hoping to find someone that might remember them or the Geisers. They were lifelong residents of LI. They even helped organize the FranklinSq /Munson Fire Department. Thank you.
