In July, 2003, the town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia will celebrate its founding by Swiss and German immigrants 250 years ago. The names of the founding families will be etched on a monument to be erected in the town. The Ueltschi family emigrated from Oberwil-im-Simmental to Nova Scotia in 1750 and were among the founding families of Lunenburg in 1753. The link to the web site is www.seawhy.com/L250.html.
