| Abstract | In the years 1738 through 1743 five families emigrated from the author's village of Dorlikon (today Thalheim an der Thur) in northern Switzerland, heading for Carolina, as the records say. No news of their fate returned. This work describes the author's search for the stories of these families (Nuessli, Basler, Weidmann, Muller, and Epprecht), who ended up in Pennsylvania, as well as for the story of Julia Beringer Huber, who had been sent to Milwaukee with her illegimate child around 1875. |
