Hello, Does the Ochsner family originate from the Chur/Felsberg, Canton Graubunden, area of Switzerland? My ancestors, the Nolds are from Felsberg, and they settled in the Honey Creek area in the late 1840s. Does the Ochsner family have a similar geographic origin? If it does, I would like to purchase a copy of the book.
