Latest Research

Winter has really slowed my research, anxious for spring and summer as have much to work on.
I am going through the Swiss records that was transcribed by a Julius Billeter, a late 1800 early 1900 genealogist that traveled through parts of Europe making notes of Church records where he visited. Apparently our ancestor Albrecht came to Neerach from Stadel, Zurich, Switzerland although Heinrich Albrecht born abut 1570 is the furthest I have uncovered so far, it appears his father may have been a Mouritz Albrecht, seems like an unusual name, but you do find the name in Stadel at that same time. As there is a Mouritz Albrecht born 23 Oct 1569 in Stadel to a Hans Albrecht, is this a cousin to our Heinrich? Who knows but you do find the name Mouritz. Also, there was a Mauriz Albrecht born 1408 living in Habsburg-Laufenburg, , , Switzerland. At least it gives me places to look and things to verify. Their are other Albrecht's that ended up in Neerach that show their line to the Albrecht's in Basil, Switzerland, church records there go back to 1000 AD. So if I can make the link, it should be fun.

Here is Heinrich's family
Heinrich Albrecht born abt1570 died 20 Mar 1636 Heinrich married Verena HERZOG on 16 Apr 1592 in , , Switzerland. Verena died in Maybe 1600 in Switzerland
