David,

Funny you should mention this now...... Over the weekend I came into
some information that indicated my Swiss patrilineal origins might
just lie in one of the German-speaking villages of Alterswil, Tafers,
or Kleingurmels in Canton Freiburg, instead of off to the southeast
in the Bernese Oberland, as Bricker (aka Bruegger) family tradition
has long held. These three villages are not particularly far from
Lake Neuchatel and the site of the Celtic La Tene settlement. I am,
as you know, S28+.
