It was an estate case with MICHEL and ANNA BATISTA from Zillis, Switzerland against RICHARD THöNI from Zillis, Switzerland and MARIA MANI-THöNI in Pigneu,(Graubunden) Switzerland. This document is in German and I translated using free online translation to get the basics, but am going to have it properly transcribed because the online version has a lot to be desired, but I think I got the names. Especially the names and locations of THöNI's or (Thoeni's or Thoeny's or Thony's) in America. So I thought I would put this information out there and see if anyone recognized any of the names of their relatives in this document. I am still trying to unravel my family history, and this is the only real lead I have. This document as far as I can tell stated that a BARBARA BANDLIN-CADISCH who died in Switzerland and had a sister named FRAN ANNA BATISTA, there were also evidently siblings or relations consisting of: SAMSON THöNI in Wycoff Minn; JOHN THöNI in LaCrosse, Wisc.; JACOB THöNI in LaCrosse, Wisc.; and GEORGE and CHRIST THöNI of Walla Walla,Wash; and MENGA THöNI-HABERSTOCK of Bickleton, Wash, MARIA MANI-THöNI in Pigneu Switzerland, and RICHARD THöNI in Zillis, Switzerland. There is also mention that BARBARA BANDLIN-CADISCH may lived in Dubuque, Iowa before she di In this message board, it mentions a John and Jacob Thoeny so maybe it is the same persons mentioned in this court document. Lets hope this document is the key to unraveling this THöNI-THOENY mystery. So does anybody recognize their relatives names in this court case?
