Tienne has effectively filled numerous gaps in my story of Albert and Maria. She has identified the village where Albert lived as a young man and gotten a map from 1888 showing the houses there. And Staeheli family records from Egnach and Arbon will become available to us once approval is given by local administrators. Tienne is a dynamo of energy accelerating progress with research in Switzerland.
Today I was contacted by Sharon Staeheli Thompson, grandaughter of Robert Hermann Staeheli and daughter of Robert Carl Staeheli. Her mother, age 93, lives in Spokane and has stories and photos to share. Sharon and her daughter, Tina, were in Colville Tuesday and had lunch at Stephani's Oak Street Grill in the former Staeheli dairy. Sharon has visited the Staeheli homestead numerous times so knows much about the site. I will arrange to visit with Sharon and her family at their convenience.
