Nick" the family of Campiche shows in the Vaud area from before 1800 only in the town of Sainte-Croix. There is a second listing in the town of Agiez, Vaud that lists them coming from Sainte-Croix in about 1842. This is from Swiss Surnames. BUT: THERE is a listing in Mario VAn Moos "Bibliography of Swiss Genealogies which you would do well to follow up on: 1) Campiche Franz Raoul: La famille CAMPICHE de Ste-Croix (et aussi de Agiez). Notices genealogiques. Nyon 1943 - 98 f., genealogie (in der SGFF Bibliothek)) 2) same author - same title - Notices genealogiques. Yverdon-les-Bains 1988 - 1 classeur, 116 f. ;(in der Schweizerischen Landesbibliothek). There ;is also a new site on the Roots Web for Vaud you might check out. Finally the address of Schweizerische Landesbibliothek/Bibliotheques nationale suisse \Hallwylstrasse 15, 3003 Bern (Nur fur gedruchte Bucher (published works only). SGFF Bibliothek is a yearly magazine and I have seen much on it lately on this roots- web....I think you can find the address through this. Hope this will help you.
