Does anyone know if Zeihen is located in Berne? I've found a possible relative and his family came from Zeihen. That's all he said, so I don't know what Canton it's in. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I know nothing about Switzerland. Thank you. Barbara Sepos

Thank you. > > Barbara Sepos This is one of many questions answered by SwissGen ;-). In such a case use the full text search feature on http://swiss.genealogy.net/search-m.htm and search for Zeihen. There is also a fairly recent file on SwissGen, not yet in the search index (which is updated every few months), listing all independent communities of Switzerland: http://swiss.genealogy.net/CH-Orte.pdf but the other pages found by the search will give you more information than just the canton: the district, a link to the community's official web page, and some basic guidance on genealogical research in the canton in question - in this case Aargau.
