Hello William, Thanks for reponding to our dilemna - It is so nice of you to give us input. You wrote:..."to inform you that Elm _IS_ a village in canton Glarus. It's situated in a little valley south east of it." I didn't understand, did you mean that Elm is SE of the town Glarus? Yes, one of the reasons that I wrote directly to Glarus is because there were no records at the LDS library. I think most of us have spent hours at an LDS library here in the states. Do you have access to their records overseas? If not, and you need something, please email me the names, etc, because I am 5 miles from a library here in the state of Texas. I will be glad to check for you there.
