A MINDER GenForum page has been established! You can get to it at http://genforum.familytreemaker.com/minder/ My MINDER ancestors came from the Huttwil, BE area in the 1890s. They were established in Huttwil for generations prior to that. I urge anyone with MINDER family connections (Swiss or otherwise) to stop by and post. If you have visited GenForum before you know that many forums are very active and can be a great way to maintain contact with other researchers...and new found cousins. I plan to post a summary of my MINDER roots in the coming days and I hope other MINDER researchers will do the same. I also intend to begin a MINDER mail list. Feel free to e-mail me if you'd like to notified when it is online. Allied family surnames in Switzerland include KOHLER, BUHLER, WIRTH, HAAS, KURT, KASER, JAGGI, and LANZ.
