I have an ancestor that presumably was born there in 1719,Anna Hofmann. A courrent map showing towns within the canton does not show this location. Can anyone tell me where 1719 and before records can be found today.Thanks, Jim

Hello Jim, The original town/hamlet of R?mikon was in the Parish of Elsau. If you go to www.mapquest.com and enter Elsau, you will see it is just east of Winterthur. Then if you select either of the two smallest scales for the map, you will see that the main road through Elsau is called R?mikerstrasse. It is likely that the former R?mikon was on this road. In any case, the old records would have been held by the parish church in Elsau. Good luck, Bruce. > I have an ancestor that presumably was born there in 1719,Anna Hofmann.
