I have finished indexing "Betschart von Muotathal," which is a compliation of the Betschart families of Muotathal, Kanton Schwyz (and elsewhere). It's not a compilation of EVERYONE with the Betschart surname, but there's 5100 Betscharts in it (give or take a few), all descended from the same couple (Erni Betschart, b. ca. 1485, and Anna in der Matt or Indermatt). In addition, there's more than 2,600 others who are not Betscharts mentioned in this book, with 835 different surnames. I'm not going to list them ALL -- many of them are mentioned only once or twice. But some are mentioned repeatedly, and the odds of someone researching those names finding a link to my Betscharts is pretty good. So here's the abbreviated list; these surnames are mentioned five or more times. E-mail me for more details.
