Hi Joslyn. Did you get my e-mail? I've been searching through some gedcoms I have on hand. Are Bert's siblings Peter, Cora, Bertha, and Annie Mae? Are "Joslyn" and "Adams" your given names, or are you Joslyn Wright born Adams?
I guess you meant to say "a descendant of Christopher AND Tscharner...." Christopher VI, the Landgrave's son (and born in Switzerland), remained in America, married, and had one child--his son, Tscharner (the first American-born de Graffenried). Tscharner's full name is "Anton Tscharner de Graffenried," although some dispute this fact and others refer to him as "Anthony Tscharner," and I've even seen "Tscharner Anthony."
If I'm on the right track with Bert's sibs, you/I may have information I/you'd like to have.Regards, Jo Anne
