Hello All ! I would say that Rieschweiler = Richwiller, Alsace. This could also explain the Lupperweil misspelling (weil or weiler in Elsaessi = wil in Schwitzertütsch ) Sincerely Guillaume PS Elsaessi and Schwitzertütsch are the german dialects spoken respectively in Alsace and Switzerland. ----- Message d'origine ----- De : BSte902278@aol.com À : SWITZERLAND-L@rootsweb.com Envoyé : vendredi 10 décembre 1999 23:07 Objet : [SWITZ] Rieschweiler Parish Records Hello All, Stumped again! I have a reference that says my grandfather was of Swiss origin The report was from Burgert Swiss Origins from the Rieschweiler Parish Records. It states the following " Bpt Record 1721 Isaac Brechbul, Swiss Origin- Lupperweil, Bern, Identified: ?3438 Lauperswil, BE". However when I contacted Net Minder at Bern, Switzerland Online Genealogy he had never heard of this Parish. Does anyone have any idea where this Parish is located? Or have done any lookups from these records at Rieschweiler. Thanks to the most helpful list of all, Brenda ==== SWITZERLAND Mailing List ==== Support RootsWeb!
