Switzerland
As with neighboring France, some of our family members came through German from Switzerland as they sought their new life. In particular, records show Hans Michael as born in either Germany or Switzerland. Because most records show Hans Michael and his wife Anna Elizabeth to be from Germany, their 1719 emigration has been moved to the Germany page.
