Dear Ruckstuhl researchers: I have entered more data into SwissGen's SSD for the surname Ruckstuhl for the time period before 1900. This would include data on all cantons (in which data was available). I have also entered the 1996 phonebook data. Please visit: http://iseli.simplenet.com/ch-names/ to obtain the data. If you need to know more about SSD, then visit: http://swiss.genealogy.net/surnam-m.htm best wishes, Dave Schmutz -----Original Message----- From: Joseph E.
