Halo! I am looking for my ancestors from Switzerland or France. One of my ancestors - Joseph Betscha(r) came about 1814-1821 from Kenzingen near to Freiburg (Germany) to Poland. His grandfather - Johann Betscha(r) came before 1724 to Kenzingen, but I do not know where from. It is possible, he came from Muotathal in Switzerland. 1696 born in Muotathal Johann Marti Betschart. I think, it can be the same person. His father was Hans Melchior Betschart (1666-1750), and his mother Dorothea Inderbitzin (d. 1749). Hans Melchior and his wife Dorothea lived in Muotathal, but then they went to Morschach and died there, but not Johann Marti. There is no indication of his death. I suppose, my ancestor and Johann Marti are the same person, or my Joseph could be from Alsace, but I have no idea where from. What do you think about it? Can anybody help me? D.J. Betscher
