Dear Teresa,
I just read your message from October 20, 2001 regarding families immigrating to Oregon specifically the Cedar Mill area in 1876.Two of our families came to Cedar Mill in 1876, Isaac Eggimann and Johannes Harisberger.They were from Trachswald and Sumiswald,Bern, Switzerland.
I am at a brick wall and reaching out in all directions.My question to you is, do you know the ship they used and the port of entry?It is possible they may have came over together with the Mr. Siegenthaler you are researching. Our ggrandmother died at sea, and we are trying to trace her family in Bern, Switzerland.Only have family stories passed down to go by.
Any help will be appreciated, thank you.
Sincerely, Marian
