I am an immigrant and really do not know much about my family history past my parents and a little bit about my grandparents. Even my parents really do not know much about our ancestry or where our family really originated. I marvel at your story and am very happy for you to be part of this story. Yes, there was a great deal of serendipity but you were the one who took action. Good for you. I am often amazed at how small the world has become especially since the internet.

Bill is very active in tracking down his genealogy and has connected to a lot of the extended family. I came across this thanks to the names being in the search. Interesting I may have gone right past this place and not even known it back in 1974 when were visit Europe, including Interlaken. We did search in vain for a Diesslin Strasse in the Black Forest region, but had no idea of this branch of the familie's connection to Switzerland.
