Again much thanks for all the help in getting my .mdb files open. Now that I can access them (no pun intended, hehe). I wanted to let everybody know what they contained in case someone else is researching these surnames. 99% of my Swiss lines are all from Möhlin, Aargau and these files contain birth informatin dating from the early 1700's to early 1800's for the following families, KAUFMANN, WIRTHLIN, and MAHRER. These came right off the books I believe are stored in the archives in Möhlin. My friend sent me sample copies of some pages and boy they are something. Most are written in Latin or old German in worst handwriting then mine, so he had quite a chore in transcribing them. So if anybody is researching these surnames or KYM, WALDMEYER, SCHMID, BöNI, or METZGER (all from Möhlin only), let me know. I have alot of info on most of these lines in various forms. Thanks.
