Switzerland: How do I check burial records in Interlaken
« on: Friday 08 May 09 18:27 BST (UK) »
A family story suggests that a relative was buried in Interlaken in Switzerland after he died in a Sanatorium from pneumonia.  How do I check burial records there?  Best regards.  Andy

Hi Andy

Try here - http://www.cyndislist.com/swiss.htm

You could also find someone with Findmypast for a lookup on Overseas/Consular BMDs.

BTW..Interlaken is in the canton of Berne.

Many thanks Ken,
I have checked the 'find my past' databases for foreign deaths with no result.  But your email has given me the opportunity to email swiss genealogical groups.
Best regards
Andy
