Monday, November 20, I received a packet mailed from Staatsarchiv St. Gallen by Marcel Mueller. Marcel works at the archive and researched the Staeheli family at my request in 2010. He and his coworker, Patric Schnitzer provided many documents about our family when I was there.

Marcel explained that his colleague, Benno, who is in charge of the archive library, had given him a booklet titled "Der Guebsensee" which was published in 1953. Because our Staeheli family is mentioned in the booklet, Benno thought we would like to have this copy.

Marcel sent the booklet "over the ocean and through the Wild West to Kennewick". 

The Staeheli Family is mentioned on page 11.

Ian Jaeger has motivated me to post the revised Staeheli Family of Guebsenmoos Google websites. While I have not completed revisions made necessary by Google's ending support of the original sites the family information is correct. It will be necessary for me to clean up links, photos and other details.

The first (original) site is at -

These links are not automatic. It is necessary to left click then highlight each link completely from https to the end (home), right click then click copy, open a new tab, right click in the address bar, left click on the first option in the drop down menu and the page will open. Or, right click in the address bar, click on paste then hit enter on your keyboard.

I reviewed this article and recommend using the links at the top right of the first blog page.
