Hi Janet If you are still looking for a researcher let me know as detailed as possible what family in what villages in what time frame you are looking for. I can ask Mr. Hug from the local LDS center here (the one near Basel) to recommend a researcher who has already experience in your area of interest. Sorry that it took me so long to answer but I had to ask Mr Hug first if this is OK with him. Best regards, Regula BTW: This offer stands for everyone who is looking for a researcher in the Basel area. It is especially important to know whether the research would be only in Switzerland or across the border in France or Germany too.
