Karl Ernst Kaufmann/Ger. or Switz
I'm looking for my grandfather.Thought he was from Chaux-de-Fonds, Switz, but he may be from Germany.He came to Bonne Terre, Missouri in late 1800s and married Ida Alice Ruchti from the St. Imier/Villeret region of Switzerland. Had a truck farm, then moved to Palo Alto, CA, and became head gardner at Stanford University.I'll be returning to Switzerland next May and hope to learn his place of birth before then.
