A Family History Of John And Anna Von Gunten, Collin S. Van Gunten

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Greetings to All My Family:

The idea of a family history began this year when I attempted to identify my ancestors who preceded John and Anna von Gunten - an attempt to stretch backward the generations of our family tree. Other families overwhelm me with their pedigrees reaching into the 18th, even the 17th, century. So why shouldn't I trace my roots to a greater depth, hoping that our heritage would be revealed

In early 1989 I contacted a prof esmonal genealogist, asking if she would undertake a search of John's lineage. She declined, saying she did not specialize in …

A Sequel To The Family History Of John And Anna Von Gunten, Collin S. Van Gunten

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Greetings To All My Family,

This sequel will supplement the family history of my great grandparents, John and Anna von Gunten, which I mailed you in November 1989. A family history is never really completed - it grows and grows and gathers a life of its own. In the past year enough additional material has been generated to justify this sequel.

In that original history I briefly introduced you to Gervais von Gunten, my third cousin, of Bienne, Switzerland. Recently he retired, this permitting him to devote time and money to his avocation - genealogy. Happily for us he has …

Hans Werner Debrunner, Schweizer Im Kolonialen Afrika, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Themes connected with Switzerland are often judged to be of only marginal significance. The Swiss nation as such certainly was no player in the European penetration and partition of the African continent. The involvement of Swiss people, furthermore, was numerically small and cannot compare with that of the Dutch or the Danes. Yet Hans Werner Debrunner's study of Swiss in colonial Africa is nevertheless of great value, especially since it is part of a set of other works he has devoted to African issues. It adds, first, much to our knowledge of Swiss migrations, understood not primarily as settlements overseas, …

Emil Staiger, Basic Concepts Of Poetics, Edward K. Berggren

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Originally published in · 1946, Staiger's Basic Concepts of Poetics is ostensibly an alternative introduction to traditional theories of poetics and genre criticism. However, the work actually proposes an entire reconceptualization of these theories, linking them to a more "fundamental" philosophical and anthropological project which, Staiger tells us, might more appropriately read as a work of philosophical anthropology attempting to answer the question, "What is man?" Its answer comes by way of an investigation of the existential world of poetics, because he sees poetics as one of our primary openings onto Being as well as an expression of humankind's most …

Joan Magee, The Swiss In Ontario, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This is truly a Swiss-Canadian book. It not only offers a fact-filled survey of the Swiss presence in Canada's vast province of Ontario, covering some three centuries, but it is also produced by Swiss Canadians. The text is .written by "a descendant of Johannes Etter, a Swiss innkeeper," the study's end page explains; in 1735 he had left Bern, Switzerland, with about 300 others for South Carolina. "Etter's son Peter, a Loyalist, travelled to Halifax in ·1776, founding the Canadian branch of the Etter family." Also the book's artwork is done by a Swiss-Canadian, the painter Rudolf Stussi, and the …

Anabaptist Emigration From The Old Republic Of Bern, Delbert Gratz

Swiss American Historical Society Review

From my living room window· I see several of the farms that were the cradle of our Bernese Mennonite Settlement made in Putnam County, Ohio, in the mid-183O's. My mind often wonders as I gaze at these old buildings, the fields and forests. I try to imagine: What these first Bernese saw when they arrived here; How they reacted to the wilderness and its animals and also to its few remaining aboriginal inhabitants; What they talked about - their memories, their concerns for themselves and their progeny; What their social, cultural, economic and religious life was like in the land …

Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In the midst of the extraordinary current political, economic and cultural changes transforming Europe, few nations find themselves in a greater dilemma than Great Britain and Switzerland. While they must participate to a degree in the process of European economic unification, both Britain and Switzerland risk in so doing jeopardizing their political and cultural identities to a greater extent than any other countries in Europe. No other European culture reveres political independence and sovereignty as much as these two. In addition, whereas the other nation states of Europe have been involved in larger supranational European empires until recent times, Britain …
