FAMILY TREE OF THE AMERICAN LINE

 

 

update 06.04.1999

 

On March 7th 1999 - by pure fortune - I was looking up in the web about the search-word "haenzi" and found a list of Swiss family names, amongst them "henzi". Over the listed e-mail address I tried a connection and found contact to Barb Eberhart in Michigan, USA.

Since then we stay in regular happy contact and exchange news about the family and innumerable other things, too...
