I forgot the names Egger and Eggeman also. I checked the map of Switzerland and many of the villages they came from are in the general area of Lucerne, (Attiswil, Trub) according to a Swiss guy I work with. Someone posted a message about some of these people being Anabaptists escaping persecution. The guy I work with says there are great records in Switzerland because people have to tell the government when they move etc. Has anyone ever tried to get Swiss records? Lisa Newton
