Anybody know how to order a Swiss birth cert? I have the DoB and region (canton) but do not have the parents names. Thanks Karen |

You can write to the Registry Office but you may have to preove that you are a direct descendant - or you could try writing to the church of the town for an entry from the Parish Register. I believe the Swiss work along the same lines as the Germans (and other Euro countries) and you may be able to buy a book (sometimes in CD format) - the Ortsippenbücher and this may be your best way out as it will give facts about the ancestors. www(.)genealogienetz(.)de/genealogy.html Incidentally I hope that you know the twon or village where the event took place. |

Joseph Thanks for the guidance. I know the location of the birth (Crissier nr Lausanne, Canton:Vaud). The family history library holds records for Crissier up to 1875, however the individuals I need were born after this date. Am actually related via marriage to the individuals I am researching. Looks like I will have to put this lot temporarily to one side along with my Irish ancestors. Thanks again Karen |
