Hi Listers, Have a very general question which I am certain can't be answered precisely but here goes: Is anyone aware of a specific political event just prior to 1819 which would have caused a family possibly living in the Pfalz region to move to Switzerland? Have found several of my linked lines to have done this. Family stories mention active opposition to Napoleon's regime but don't believe or think that was still active fear just prior to 1819. If anyone has suggestions, I'd certainly appreciate hearing from them. Thanks in advance. Bon
