The International Life Of A Swiss Hotelkeeper, Marianne Burkhard Jan 2009

The International Life Of A Swiss Hotelkeeper, Marianne Burkhard

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Among the papers of Ferdinand Sperl there is a

small black book in which he chronicled the stages of

his life from his childhood to the 1960s. This

chronicle is very interesting as it shows first, how the

son of a hotelier was thoroughly prepared for

following in his family's footsteps as a fourth

generation hotelier, and second, how his arrival in the

United States in 1939 and the Second World War led

him to an unexpected career in military intelligence

after which he returned to his career as hotelier.

The Purysburg Colonists Of South Carolina And Their Descendants, Claudette Holliday

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In October 2006 I took a trip to Switzerland in search of ancestors wit

a few members of the Purysburg Preservation Foundation. A genealogy

travel destination is common among those searching for their roots .

However, until you actually have experienced it yourself, the stories are just

words on a page.

Burials In The Tomb Of The Swiss-American Society New Orleans, John Geiser Iii

Swiss American Historical Society Review

On July 3, 1871, an improved constitution was adopted and a burial ground in Greenwood Cemetery was purchased. The yellow fever epidemic of 1878 caused the entire plot of ground to be filled and compelled action on the building of a suitable vault, which was completed and consecrated with appropriate ceremonies on October 5, 1879.
