Dear Ticino & other Swiss listers:

Another method to find ALL the villages which have had their records microfilmed is to use SwissGen's webpage (links to the list of villages, by canton, on the FamilySearch catalog website):
http://www.eye.ch/swissgen/ldsloc-m.htm - just click on your canton and you are presented with a semi-alphabetical list of villages. For canton Ticino, 281 villages are listed.

Currently 1 SwissGen volunteer is in the process of checking the LDS FHL catalog entry of each village to see if other neighboring villages have their records also in the listed in another. You can check out the wonderful results of what each canton's list will eventually be by perusing the webpages created by Ed Baughman for canton Bern's villages:
http://members.aol.com/ewbaugh/church.htm
For example: If you tried searching for the village of Ammerzwil in the FHL on-line catalog, it is not listed. However, the village of Ammerzwil is recorded in Affoltern im Emmental Church Book (Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche 1567-1875). In fact, several neighboring villages are also listed in the Affoltern im Emmental Church Book: Vor im Holz, Ammerzwil, Suberg, Ottiswyl and other neighboring towns.

So, if you wish to participate in a worthwhile on-line project, please send me () an e-mail so I can send you more details.

Best wishes,
Dave Schmutz
SwissGen volunteer

Judith,

it seems they are. The problem is that they abbreviate San as "S." Please check "Castel_S._Pietro" or the following link (please paste the
whole of it into the URL address!)

http://www.familysearch.com/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C180%2C0&titleno=468513&disp=Registri_ecclesiastici

I have checked the records about 20 years ago, at least at that time they were still with the parish priest. I am pleased that you research in this parish, too, so I'd like to tell you that my relation there are the family "Paravicini" from Corteglia, parish of Castel San Pietro, and I am desperate to find out how they are related to the more famous Parravicini in the Valtellina/Veltlin.

Do you have other families in the "Mendrisiotto?
My genealogical data can be found under:

Sincerely,

Betreff: [CHE-Ticino] Castel San Pietro parish registers?

Hello, Ticino Listers.

Can anyone tell me if the church records for Castel San Pietro have been filmed by LDS, and if so, how they are listed? I've tried entering
several versions into the 'place' search in the LDS on-line catalog, but get 'no matching places.'

This is Castel San Pietro near Balerna and Morbio Inferiore, not San Pietro at the western border.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
