I was trying out the e-mail search function for e-mail addresses in Switzerland. For my surname, Schmutz, I found 57 e-mail addresses. It stated that more were available, but I need to narrow my search, since it will not display all of them. 57 is more than I expected, but I do know there are about 2000+ telephone listings for folks with the Schmutz surname in all of Switzerland. Perhaps you will have some success in contacting possible cousins in Switzerland. http://www.directories.ch/email_addresses/search_set-en.html ** Make sure you click on the Locality drop-down menu and select the appropriate area you wish to search - I started with all of Switzerland ** Other e-mail search engines can also be found at: http://swiss.genealogy.net/contac-e.htm#direct best wishes, Dave Schmutz
