I am an American living in Michigan. I first met my Swiss wife in Spain in 2000. We met again in Venezuela in 2001. And again in Normandy, France in 2004. We were married in July 2006 and now live in Michigan. I recently discovered that my ancestors are also Swiss!
I have traced my ancestry to my great-great-great-great grandfather Henrici Petiprin (born in 1755 in Vendlincourt, Jura, Switzerland)! I have a desire to learn if descendants of Henrici are still living in Switzerland. I wonder what it will be like one day to visit Vendlincourt where at least three generations of my family once lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. My curiosity continues. Somehow I knew that my wife and I had a connection that went deeper than simply meeting in Spain, Venezuela, and France before we married.
