I haven't 'worked' the Switzer line yet, but some of my 'bits 'n pieces' may help a bit......looks like they 'fit'.... An obit for Maria Switzer Ferrill,1959, b.c.1872,lists among survivors, a sister, Mrs Anthony STOQUA, Ottawa. Elsewhere I have Anna, d/o John Switzer & Elizabeth Printess married 'a Stoqua'from Golden Lake. Don't have a b'date for Anna but siblings were b.at least c.1872 - 1885. Also have Mary E Stoqua Dugal, d. 1991, age 72; she was d/o Anna & Anthony....Charlie Stoqua has died since then, but don't have yr!! Think Charlie was a plumber here in Ottawa.......hmmmm....perhaps I'd better check w/ a sister law; think she knows more.....:>)....ok ...Charles A.was bro of Mary E.; he died 1998, Ottawa, was b. 1928. A third child of Anna & Anthony was Kathleen, as Mrs Tracy, of Victoria; survived Charles. Root on..... Martha >
