Jacob Shantz 1710 Switzerland
I have just begun searching on the internet to find out more information on my anscestoral roots and came upon this forum.It is quite exciting to know that there are so many people out there all wanting to know more.
My purpose in searching is that I am looking to go over to Switzerland this fall and was hoping that I could get information on the actual location of where Jacob Shantz came from.I would love to go and visit the area and explore to see if there are descendants of his family still living there.
The records I have are from a small blue book called "Family History of Jonas C. Shantz and Hannah (Snyder) Shantz 1710-1980. In this book it talks about how Jacob was granted permission by the authorities in Berne to emmigrate, but does not mention his actual birth place.
If anyone has any information that could aid me in my search I would be gratetful.
