I am searching for any relatives of my grandfather, Christian WILLENER, who was born in 1873 at Sigriswil, Switzerland. He emigrated to the United States and applied for citizenship in 1906 in Oregon. He married Louise HEINZ in Oregon in 1910. They had 3 sons: Ernst Edward, Henry Christian, and John G. At the time of his death in the 1930s, his mother, 2 sisters, and 2 brothers were living in the Sigriswil--Swanden area.

I am looking for information on family of Conrad WEBER, born about 1745 at Klettegau, Canton Schaffhausen, Switzerland and died there unknown date, married 20 January 1765 to Magdalena SCHELLING at Schaffhausen. This is the oldest descendant I have recorded in my direct line. His son, from whom I'm descended, was Hans Georg WEBER, born 20 January 1771 at the same location above and died there 21 Apr 1843. Hans Georg WEBER married Anna STAMM 21 January 1796. All information greatly appreciated. I have not had any success even locating the above "Klettegau" (shown as "Klettegan" on hand-written family documentation). Thanks so much for your time.

My Christian was born 6 April 1800, he married Anna Maria ZESIGER of Bargen 19 March 1836. They emigrated to America (Illinois) in 1852 on the ship "George Hurlbut", arriving in New York on 5 June 1852. They departed from Le Havre, France. Other Great Grandparents names are ETTER / HEIMBERG / SCHEURER / KANEL.

My grandfather, Eugene TSCHILL was born in 1900 at Willer, France. His parents were Joseph TSCHILL and Mary Anna GRAFF . Joseph was born in 1870 and Mary in 1871 and both at Willer, France. Joseph's parents were Joseph TSCHILL and Francoise HELL. Joseph was born in 1831 and Francoise in 1829 at Willer, France. Mary's parents were Johannes GRAFF and Magdalene HASMIST or HARNIST. The last Joseph TSCHILL's parents were Joseph TSCHILL and Anna STAMPFLER probably born in 1805. I visited with some people in France that told me that they thought the TSCHILL name originally came from Switzerland, from a town called Porrentruy and that their name could have been spelled TSCHILLAR or TSCHILAR. I went to Porrentruy, but did not have any luck finding anything out. Have you heard of any of these surnames or have any suggestions on how to do research in Switzerland, I've been told that it is difficult. I did find a TSCHILAR listed in the canton of Bern in Gampelen Switzerland that was there before 1800. Would that be a good lead to follow up on? Thank you for your time and any help you can give me.
