Heinrich Ruckstuhl
Searching for relatives of my great grandfather Heinrich Ruckstuhl, born 16/11/1825 Dinhard/Sulz ZH. Left Switzerland in 1853 to fight in Crimea in a German Battlion of the British Army. Was married to Rosina Schellenberg in 1852 but never returned to Switzerland. She divorced him in absentia. He went to England, perhaps USA, and finally to Canada where he raised a family of 12 children. Died 1908. Had siblings Barbara, Susanna & Johann Rudolf remaining in Switzerland. He had no further contact with his family although he named his eldest son Johann Rudolf apparently after his brother.
