I just did a search in what must be Switzerland’s version of Whitepages.com.
I searched for Zurbuchen. And, as I write, I go back to the webpage where I’m on page 18 of people with my last name. 913 results pop up.
When I asked for a search of just Habkern, from where all Zurbuchens come, there are 84 results with my last name.
Seaching I see someone named Margrit Zurbuchen who has typical chalet for rent in Wilderswil.
How do I not know but one or two of them? When will I go to see my Swiss roots?
This is an amazing journey I’ve discovered thanks to my position at the Swiss Center of North America.
