    1. [SWITZ] Hidden gems - genealogies in the Susch (Süss), Graubünden, church books
    2. Mike Hobart
    3. I was doing some research in the church books for Susch (Süss), Graubünden, and ran across a number of family genealogies recorded in the first book. These are not Familienschein or Burger Registers, but actual genealogies which appear to have been summarized from the church books. Examining one line minor errors in dates were found and additional data was found in the registers, but the genealogy appears generally correct. - Mike Hobart ----- Genealogies in b. 1 of the Susch (Süss), Graubünden, kirchenbuchs. The page totals omit blank pages or pages with only the family name at the top of the page. The author of these is not named, but they appear to have been compiled about 1860. The list of priests at Susch found at the beginning of the b. 2 of the Kirchenbuchs does not extend to this date, so I don't have the name of the likely candidate author(s) for these. One would have to consult Jakob Truog's 1935 book on Evangelical priests in Graubünden to find the likely candidates. Comparison of the handwriting for the genealogies and the register entries at the approximate time of the writing shoud let one establish the author. The genealogies are for Susch families, are in Romansch, and are found at the end of b. 1 (LDS FHL microfilm 1192670#3). Surname - # of pages Arquinta - 2 p. Bonorand - 11 p. Camenisch - 1 p.
