I have the information regarding their return. On the manifest it states she was here from 1888 to 1890. Which isn't quite correct. According to family she arrived in 1888 to marry Andrew and left shortly after her second child was born, which was in 1893 - which I know is correct. That is why I'm looking for information ranging from 1890 to 1900. -----Original Message----- From: Susan Biedron [mailto:Susan@jsbiedron.com] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 10:04 AM To: SWITZERLAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [SWITZ] Return to Switzerland Have you checked her return to the US with the children in the Ellis Island data base? I do know for sure that the US did not keep the ship lists of those (citizens or not) who departed from the US ports.

Neither became citizens at that time. The family returned to Switzerland sometime between 1892 and 1900 - I haven't found out why yet. He died in Switzerland and she returned with her children in 1920 and remained here. -----Original Message----- From: Etudes Genealogiques - Bordeaux [mailto:genealogyrsch@wanadoo.fr] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 6:21 AM To: 'gmarob' Subject: RE: [SWITZ] Return to Switzerland Roberta, That means that they had a Swiss passport if they were not American citizens?
