I know the previous post is a few years old but hope it might still connect with others. I am researching my Grandfather Wenk who came to the US from Schmerkon, Switzerland about 1875. He returned for a couple of years to Switzerland to fulfill his military obligations. I believe in 1880 in came back to the US where settled in Jefferson County, NY. I would like to know if he had siblings or who his parents were back in
Switzerland and if any of them at a later time came to the US.
