Very interesting old statements of Debra (to be reviewed).:
That's what Debra D. Andrist reported in 1997 on her ancestors: 'I did visit the Staatsarchiv in Berne 20 years ago to check out records for my great-grandfather, William Jacob, who immigrated from the mountains of Simmental to Kansas and married my grandmother, Ursula Cadneau, also immigrated from the Berne Canton but a native speaker of Italian. Jakob William's (?) brother, Micheal (?)and ?, went to France and Italy at the same time (about 1885).'
