You posted the below message back in 1999.I have some information that might be useful.An Elisabeth Oesch married my ggg grandfather in 1842.Perhaps this is the same Elisabeth?
I have an ancestor, Frederic(k) Bigler, who didn't emigrate from Switzerland until the 1880s. When he left, he was given a book of sermons in German, with a french inscription, "to my well-loved cousin - Elisabeth Oesch". He settled in NYC and married a Irish woman with last name of Laycock, I believe, and had 2 daughters. Anybody know who he is?
