Dear Patricia Oberkirch, SO seems to be very small, you will find entries for Oberkirch under Zullwil, SO zip code: 4234 in telephone books. The address of the roman catholic parish is: Röm.-Katholisches Pfarramt Oberkirch-Zullwil 4234 Zullwil Switzerland The phone number of the 'Pfarrer' (priest) is: +41 61 791 03 14 The phone number of the Zivilstandsamt (where you can get civil records) is: +41 61 791 01 91. But I'm not sure if this information is still valid. At the moment many cantons in Switzerland centralize and build new 'Zivilstandskreise'. Some further information: http://swiss.genealogy.net/intro-e.htm and http://swiss.genealogy.net/ver/chbull61.htm (in German) If you want to know where it is have a look at: http://www.schwarzbubenland.ch/gemeinden/default.htm or http://www.tells.ch/nolink/zullwil/zullwil.html or http://www.stesalit.ch/geo.htm If you are looking for church records, they are available for Oberkirch, SO for 1582-1875 at the LDS.
