The Swiss-American Family De Steiguer, J. E. De Steiguer
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The following pages present an overview of the 500-year history of the Swiss-American family de Steiguer. It is a story which depicts the gradual rise and abrupt decline of a family within one of the most exclusive aristocracies of 18th century Europe and their subsequent settlement in the frontier states of America.

Théodore Bost was born in 1834 at Carouge near Genea, emigrated in 1851 to St. Paul, Minnesota, became a farmer in nearby Carver County, stayed in Minnesota until 1887 and then moved to Pomona near Los Angeles and died in California in 1920. His wife, Sophie née Bonjour from Neuchâtel, born in 1835, married him in 1858 and died in 1922. Both stood firmly in the protestant tradition.

This history of a small ethnic-national association is not the usual anniversary publication, listing glorious achievements and displaying pictures of smiling officers or of happy gatherings.

I once heard a young American ask a Danish visitor whether or not he was acquainted with the inquirer's uncle in Denmark. It quickly developed that the only thing which the young man knew about his uncle was his family name.
