Hi Gladys in Alberta

I have some Switzer blood in me (g..grandmother was Margaret Switzer Embury Lawrence b1743 Court Martix Ireland d1807 Augusta Ontario married to my g..grandfather John Lawrence Sr. b1742 Ballingrane Ireland d1822 Augusta Ont). I don't have too much info on Switzers after Margaret's period but if you have some specific questions I might be able to steer you.

Regards
Denis in Ontario
