| Abstract | Reveals a genealogical search through baptismal and other church records. "The 1907 obituary of Anna Catharina Ruby, my paternal great-grandmother, from an old Illinois newspaper, was what started the search that led us back to 17th century Switzerland. . . . Her birthplace was the mill known as the Weyermuhl near Walhalben." Anna Catharina, her parents, and her siblings immigrated to the United States in 1826. Around 1855, Anna Catharina, her husband, and her children moved to McLean County, Illinois. Includes images of parish and civil records. |
