I have an off-line source (CD-ROM) that contains the information found in the Germans to America (Volumes 32-56) Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby. It is an indexed source of German surname immigrants complied from the original ship manifest schedules for the years 1875 - 1888. Many of the immigrants listed are from Switzerland. There is another CD available covering Volumes 1-31 for the earlier years, but I do not have it. Once you have the Manifest ID# you can obtain a copy of the manifest from the National Archives http://www.nara.gov/publications/microfilm/immigrant/immpass.html or write to General Reference Branch National Archives and Records Administration 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20408 You will need to complete Form 81 (for Ship Passenger Arrival Records) - Cost $10.00 Hope this is helpful!!
