Hi..I'm researching my WEGMULLERs in Switzerland. A gentleman was kind enough to do a lookup for me and found my ggreat grandparents were Johann Wegmüller and Anna Eberle von Aeugst. Johann was a shoemaker in Baar, Canton Zug. This gentleman also told me that the Wegmüller records were held in Walkringen, Canton Bern. Can anyone tell me of the address of the Administer in Walkringen? I would love to find my "Familienschein". Any help would really be appreciated. Thankyou very much, Larry Wegmuller

I would like to invite you to subscribe to the forum yourself, and add some information on the emigrant: this would make the thread much more interesting for readers living in Switzerland, possibly looking for contacts to descendants of emigrants; obviously any additional info on the Swiss side (once you get hold of it) would also be welcome. Furthermore you'd automatically be notified by mail if a response to the thread is posted. As the forum dialogue is in German and French only, I have provided a description of the registration procedure in English on http://swiss.genealogy.net/forum/regist-e.htm Before I forget to mention it: registration is free, and there is no obligation for you (apart from behaving yourself, i.e. not posting rassist or obscene texts and the like). Anyone else interested in the forum should have first a look at http://swiss.genealogy.net/forum/ with a short description of the envisaged structure. Further down on the page you'll find a list of already existing threads (compiled manually - and consequently not always up-to-date) - there just is a small chance to find already information on "your" names. If not - feel free to post a query: English is fine - I'll try to translate to German (at least an abstract), to give your posting a better chance to be read by Swiss researchers; I just hope I won't be overrun ;-)). So if there are too many questions at a time, or when I'm on holiday, you may have to be patient. BTW - whilst reading in the forum is open to anyone with an internet connection, writing requires a registration (see above). When posting a question, please, make sure that it can be reasonably answered: a question consisting only of "looking for my Keller ancestors in Switzerland" just cannot be answered and will be deleted (might be different for a rare name - if in doubt, contact me directly to find out whether your name is "sufficiently rare"). Please, give as much info as possible on the Swiss side of your family (preferrably post it in the canton of origin, not "general Switzerland") - and certainly include detailed information on the emigrant and the first (or first few) generations in the new country.
