Felder Church in Schupfheim
My name is Madison Felder. I am from Orangeburg,sc. I am a direct descendant of Captain Henry Felder.
I spent some time studying in Germany in 2008. While there, I visited Schupfheim, Switzerland and found a small church built by "Peter Felder" in 1680. It was then enlarged by "Heinrich Felder" in 1780. Clearly, this is not the same Heinrich Felder that died in Orangeburg in 1738. The church was refurbished by the Catholic church in 1990 with the help of someone named "P. Firmin Felder."
I have pictures of the church, including the plaques recognizing all of these names (they are in german). I haven't found anything else out about these names, but I thought it was cool to find a Felder landmark in Switzerland.
I did travel to Zurich, but I did not have the opportunity to research anything. I have not been to St. Gallen or Wattwil.
If anyone is interested in seeing the pictures or plaques, shoot me an email.
