regarding: > From: jdroppel <jdroppel@aristotle.net> > . . . need help locating the county of settlement ... Swiss immigrants > include Johannes Tschudy, Martin Tschudi the Bonis, and Jacob Roppel .... Some years ago, I corresponded with David Judah, who knows about the Tschudi family branch that eventually settled in Indiana. I notice that he is still active with this research (at least as of Oct. '06) so you may want to check his work at genealogy.com. Try a google on exactly the following names "Judah/Judy/Tschudi" and you will find the link to his Family Tree Maker's user home page. I recall he told of a genealogy book of the family; perhaps you know of it. It's a book by Marion Carlock published in 1954 which apparently has lots of errors. David's branch came from canton Basel aboard the ship Sally, so are probably the same ones you are seeking. Cheers, Clay p.s. there is a lot of documentation online (in German) that make clear the Tschudi family was and is quite influential in Switzerland. cf
