I can't help with the contact, but am also a descendant of Ulli Reinhard of Sumiswald and would like to contact others who are collecting information about the early generations. If anyone could sponsor a Reinhard (Rinehart, Reinhardt, etc) list on Rootsweb it would be much easier for all of us to pool our information about the family. (I have an old computer and text-based software for the most part). One problem I have is the generations before Ulli Reinhard in Sumiswald. On the LDS website there are five generations before Ulli listed. It was very exciting to find this information. However, when I sent for information from the Bern archives, their material listed a different set of great-grandparents and earlier generations. I am not sure how to resolve this conflict, and wonder if any SWISS-lister has a suggestion.
