Can anyone on Switzerland side of the Big Pond help me out on this. A search of any families with surname Rederer and Donnitzer turned up only one family in Wisconsin, USA - same family being researched. IGI was very very lacking on Rederer other than two entries showing as being from Canton Appenzell. ZILCH, nothing, zada, whatever the German-speaking say for nothing, on Donnitzer. Christian Rederer and Margareth Donnitzer emigrated from Switzerland in 1884 with 3 children. 4th child was born in Wisconsin, USA Misspellings included Rederer, Dunitger, Donitger on American records. Any help to help zero to correct canton, maybe even village, considering the extreme rarity of the name Donnitzer (even Donitzer), will be very very appreciated. W.
