Is there a book that outlines how to search in Switzerland? The LDS site does not mention a research guide for Switzerland like it has for many places. I have found those helpful in the past. I have also used different ones for other locales. Thanks, Amelia

Hello Sydney, The village of La Sagne is indeed located in the canton of Neuchâtel. Although I have never heard the name TOUCHON, the other surnames you mention seem typical of Neuchâtel and French-speaking Switzerland. Sam Ottawa, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Cardner To: SWITZERLAND-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 24, 2000 8:14 PM Subject: [SWITZ] Wm. E. TOUCHON, Marie Louise GRAU, to USA 1893 I have been lurking on the list a while, and it seems to be a patient list when someone is experiencing language difficulties. I have not written for any records yet in Switzerland. I am in the process of gathering what distant US uncles and aunts have stored away. I just received the birth certificate for Bertha Eugenie TOUCHON, b. June, 1892 in Neuchatel. Is La Sagne in Neuchatel? That appears to be her birth place. Her father was William Edouard TOUCHON, b. 1870, son of Jules Ernest TOUCHON and Jeniet ?? Eugenie RICHARS??. Please be patient, as the language is a barrier as well as the poor quality of the copy. Her mother was Marie Louise GRAU, b. 1871, fille de (daughter of?) Alexis (GRAU) and Elise von KANEL. On the 1900 census of Goshen, Connecticut, USA, this family is found with a family of Henri PERRET next to them. This family is also from Switzerland, but they came over in 1888. I suspect there may be a family connection there somewhere. Other surnames connected with the family are DESOULE (sp?) who married a sister of Marie Louise GRAU; HAMM, whom we suspect married a sister of William or Marie who was named Bertha. CORIELL is also a family connection, but that may have occurred here in the USA. CARDNERS also were a connection, but that was definitely in the US. The SSD information I received indicated there was still a TOUCHON connection in La Sagne in 1940. I received GRAU information from the SSD also, but I have not gotten it translated yet. Someone looked at a copy of the family bible page that I have, and they said it looked like a combination of French, German, and a little Italian mixed in. I am posting this surname information in the event there are others researching the same names. Odds are small on a country list, but it does happen sometimes.

The translation into German would be "Schweizer Garde" - which is the German name of the Pope's "bodyguards" in the Vatican : mainly representative nowadays, but well known soldiers in earlier centuries. Check http://www.datacomm.ch/awicky/gsp/index.html (sorry - in German only). I would consider this the most likely explanation, though I cannot exclude for sure that some other Swiss regiment (and there were lots of them) could also be meant.

I noticed the message written by Robert Rothenbuhler in Digest VOO #36 today pertaining to the Buhler surname. When my uncle was in WWII, he was told that the two names: Hasen and Buhler were put together, meaning "rabbit hutch". Is that true? Until then he always thought his name was rather unique. <g> Doris

Hi Paul, Sacerdos is Latin for priest. Rick Saunders

I just received a copy of church extract. After the name of one son was the work in brackets (Sacerdos). I have been unable to find the word in any dictionary. Anyone have an idea.

> I have a Heinrich B=FChler christened 1840 at Neuenstadt/LaNeuville Bern, > youngest child of Jakob B=FChler and Louise Besseau. Joan, Thanks for the information. However, I don't think that this is the same as my HENRY BUHLER. I believe that my HENRY BUHLER was born circa. 1848 - 1850. According to the 1900 US census, my HENRY BUHLER was born in Switzerland Dec. 1848. According to the 1910 US census, he was born in Switzerland[German] and was 60 years old (1850). In that same census it states that he immigrated to the US in 1870. He IS found the in the 1870 census index of Little Rock, Arkansas. However, I haven't actually looked at the census images for that year. Nor have I seen the 1880 census yet. I plan to do that soon. By the way . . . thanks to everyone who responded to my posting. You all had some great suggestions and ideas and have been most helpful. One thing that I forgot to mention in my previous posting is that there is another HENRY BUHLER out there who came to America in 1880, and naturalized in 1884 in PA. That is NOT the same person as my great grandfather. As I mentioned above, my HENRY BUHLER was already living in the Arkansas by 1870, and he raised nine of his eleven children in Little Rock, before moving to Texas circa. 1899. The other HENRY BUHLER raised his family in Pennsylvania. Thanks again for all of you help. I REALLY appreciate it. Cindy

Hi Pete Mattli, I have been reading the messages on BÜHLER and I have a question. The last part of my name is bühler (ROTHENBÜHLER). I have notice that there are several names in Switzerland ending in bühler. Why is that? Does bühler have a special meaning? Rothenbühler is listed in "Men of Bern".

Although I can't help her with her Henry Buhler, I am wondering if someone can give me some info on the name HASENBUHLER.

In @1846, Jacques Planta enrolled as a student of divinity at the University of Geneva. From the family diaries, it sounds as though there was some kind of arrangement whereby the students were sent to lodge with local families. It transpires that Jacques Planta was sent to lodge with the Campiche family. Samuel Campiche & his wife had at least 4 children, of which the 3rd was Marie, who subsequently married Jacques. > Anyone any ideas how I can find out more about the Campiches at this time??
