Please, anyone know what became of the former Lindau Parish that Winterberg was in in the 18th century and before. Has it been renamed or swallowed up by another parish? A book I have lists my ancestors, Haussli, as having come to U.S. in 1738-39 from Lindau Parish. Ernie Heltsley

If I remember correctly, the conclusion was that the most likely Swiss spelling would be "Häusli" (I hope the a-umlaut makes it to the list), an old established family of Altikon in canton Zuerich. Altikon, Lindau and Winterberg are all in the Winterthur area of canton Zuerich. Using SwissGen's full text search http://swiss.genealogy.net/search-m.htm to look for "Lindau" one of the hits is http://swiss.genealogy.net/kant/zhorte-m.htm which links to http://www.lindau.ch/ which in turn inludes a map of the region http://www.lindau.ch/Karten/uebersicht.htm To continue your research http://swiss.genealogy.net/kibu/zhkb_l-l.htm informs you that Lindau church records (1566-1875) have been filmed by LDS. SwissGen consists by now of almost 500 web pages - I agree, not easy to find everything immediately with this amount of information - so I can only recommend to make full use of our full text search (see abbove). It's always a good idea to give SwissGen a chance to answer your questions directly ;-).
