Switzerland: Lucie Kuenzi
« on: Thursday 25 June 09 10:40 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to trace the ancestry of my grandmother.  Her name was Lucie Kuenzi, and she migrated to England from Swtizerland about a century ago....

I've tried some sites on the internet, but I'm a novice at these things!
Smiley
Any tips would be greatly appreciated....

Yes, my understanding is that she was born just about at the turn of the century, maybe 1900....

I don't think she left Switzerland for England until after WWI.

Lucie Kuenzi's marriage is shown in 1936 in Hampstead - the marriage certificate will show her father's name and occupation and address/witness names that might help track down other relatives in the UK.

In the 1911 census there does appear to be a Lucile Berthe Lina Kuenzi b. about 1898 Switzerland, living in Epsom - not sure if this is related. She is listed as niece, and the family are Martins:
William Henry Martin, b. 1871 and Emma Fanny, b. 1867 (b. Switzerland, maiden name Vögeli), and their children.

This is as much as I can get out of the free details - I would suggest getting the marriage certificate first, and then if it looks like Lucile is the same as your Lucie, then we can dig in to try and find the connection.

Hi

I also think you should first have a look at the marriage certificate.
For searching in Switzerland you should know the place where she
came from respectively the place of which she had the citicenship.

This is a website which listens for every swiss surname
the places of citicenship in Switzerland:

http://www.hls-dhs-dss.ch/famn/?ig=d

For Kuenzi/Küenzi all places are situated in the Canton Berne.
But Vögeli(n) is a very common name in Switzerland,
there are places in different Cantons of Switzerland.

Regards
Svenja
