Dear Nick: According to the data in SwissGen's SSD (which you have already obtained), the Campiche family name held citizenship in: GE Genève sometime during the 1800's VD Agiez sometime during the 1800's VD St. Croix before 1800 ZH Zürich sometime during the 1800's I would start with St. Croix, then Genève, by looking in the registers. http://www.eye.ch/swissgen/ldsloc-m.htm Ste-Croix has Church, Civil, and Notarial registers, which have been microfilmed. Genève has tons of listings of records......the search will be more challenging in Genève. best wishes, Dave Schmutz -----Original Message----- From: Nick Beaton [mailto:rnb@step.es] Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2000 3:18 PM To: SWITZERLAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SWITZ] Re Campiches in Geneva Hello Listers, I am still on the track of my Campiche line. 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?? Grateful for assistance. Regards Nick Beaton
