Hello to all, I am extremely new at this, have absolutely no idea what I am doing & have very little to go on to start but here goes! I'm trying to trace my grandfather's roots but have very little info at this time. His surname was MICHEL, first name Ernest. I do know that he was born Nov 3 1906? in the Chur area of Switzerland. He had a bother named Albert(not sure on his Birthday). The boys were orphaned at a young age. My great grandmother supposedly died when Poppa was about 4, so that would be around 1910. Great Grandfather (first name Albert) would have died a short while after that. All I know is than Albert Michel sr was a train conductor with the Swiss railway & died in a train wreck. My father thinks it was around 1912. Both boys emigrated to British Columbia, Canada in their late teens or early 20's. At this point, this is all I have to go on. Thanks for everyone's time!
