by Ernest Thode

Ernest Thode recently discovered a 989-page book published in 1822 in Germany that related the story of the unlikely immigration to America in 1819 of an assortment of Swiss ranging from highest nobility to the poorest class. The Gall/Tisher group, which ultimately established a permanent Swiss settlement in Monroe County, Ohio, was sponsored by a private commission led by Ludwig Gall. "Swiss Pioneers of Southeastern Ohio" will appeal not only to the Tisher and Steiguer descendants in America but also to any number of Americans possessing one or more of the following surnames: Aeberhardt/Eberhard, Ames, Barber, de Steiguer/von Steiger, Fankhauser/Fankhouser/Frankhauser, Fearing, Finsterwald, Gysi/Gysy/Guise/Guyse/Guysi, H?ssig/Hassig, Hugi, Jewett, Junod, Labarthe, Marti/Martin, N?sperli/Nisperly, Nye, Oberholzer/Oberholser, Putnam, Reichenbach, R?egsegger/Resecker, Schneider, Spittler, Sproat, Stalder, Tsch?pp?tt/Tschappat, Tupper, T?scher/Tisher, Uhl, Weiss/Wyss, Winterberger.
