Margarethen (a) Straubenzell (a) Nesslau (b) from between 1800 to 1850 Since you specifically asked about Winter thur here are the areas they were in in Canton Zurich: Neftenbach - from 1933 (came from Ste.

Brittnau 1966 - 36 S., Stamm- tafeln (in der SGFF-Bibliothek) - St Gallen Library. In Julius Billeter "Notes" there is also a genealogy of a RUESCH FAMILY. Microfilm # 0193482 And finally there is a Ruesch INternational where I can get checks to send to Switzerland. They are located in Century City (but I doubt if they would be able tohelp unless you could find their corporate offices which are in Europe someplace. Hope this will be of help to you in your research.
