| Abstract | In the years 1738 through 1743 five families emigrated from the author's village in northern Switzerland to Carolina," as the records say. No news of their fate returned. Did they ever reach the other side of the Ocean? If so, where did they settle? Do descendants of these families still exist? [This book] captures the author's discoveries." -- coverThe emigrants were from the small Swiss community of Thalheim on the Thur, formerly Dorlikon. |
