    1. Peter Christ family from Kublis in Graubunden
    2. Hello everyone: My grandparents and two uncles emigrated from Switzerland in 1904. Peter Christ was born February 11, 1875 in Kublis, Graubunden, Switzerland. Believed to have returned and died after 1940 in Switzerland. He was married January 1896 in Switzerland; divorced 1908 in Oregon. Mary Hitz, born May, 18 1874 in Lucerne, Switzerland, died Oregon. Their children: Christian William “Tom” Christ, born January 2, 1898 in Switzerland. Leonard Christ, born November 27, 1900 in Switzerland. Peter immigrated in 1902, last residence was Kublis; visited Uncle Tacher in California. Peter with wife and two sons immigrated in 1904; last residence was Coir (Chur?). Other family names: Gaechter (Taecher, etc.), Hitz, and Malar. It appears the Christ family may be registered in Kublis but I have also heard that the Christ surname was used for the homeless. Mary was Catholic in America. Unless I am mistaken, the LDS microfilm records will not help me with my Graubunden research. Is anyone familiar with the records from this region? I believe I need to inquire about family records in Kublis and then request permission, from Chur, to obtain copies. Please correct me if I am not understanding what I need to do. Thank you and best wishes, Stephen in Independence, Missouri, USA
