I was caught by Daniel's response below re how a Swiss name might have been spelled. I'm looking for the Swiss spelling of my ggrandmother's name that on an American death certificate is handwritten as "Koernsle[u]r." This certificate is the only place I can find her maiden name. I've been told there is no such Swiss spelling, but that the name might be "Kuntzler"--or some variant thereof. I do know she was from Kt. Zurich, but not the town. Does anyone have a suggestion how to pin this down????

But I am quite sure that the spelling of the city you are looking for is SCHWYZ, Canton SCHWYZ. And SCHULTHEISS seems to me the most probable spelling for Josephine's surname. It's therefore best to contact the respective parish wich is most probably roman-catholic. Here is the postal address (they don't seem to have an electronic adress, yet) Kath. Pfarramt, Herrengasse 22, 6430 Schwyz Regards Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Conni Braun" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 12:04 AM Subject: [SWITZ] Census in Switzerland > I would be interested in any records from Switzerland.
