Hi Sardevsin, my partner Rachel would love to see details of the Kubler family tree going back to the 18th Century! She has always been curious as to which village in Switzerland (?) that her ancestors came from. She thinks her mother Yvonne is the cousin of Trinette.

I remember, at age around 9 visiting with my mum I believe her Kubler relatives in Interlaken - elderly ladies of her mums (Marion) generation. It was I guess 4 storey with door straight from a narrow street. After the visit we had some bread and chocolate (usual lunch) sitting on a bench overlooking a large open air pool just a few minutes walk away (google earth interlaken bodelibad is the kind of scene i recall). The kind of street is like the one about 600m to the west the bodelibad along the river bank then in a little (street view to find) but certainly not so smart looking

Hi everyone, have just joined, never done this online stuff so maybe getting this wrong as don't see if/how I identify which post am  replying to...

Anyway, general intro,,my grandmother is Marion who married Sam Craig. Unfortunately I just missed meeting Bernie when she and I think some others visited my sister in Anglesey just prior to Floras death. I have just skimmed thro 'Journey into the Past' (from younger bro) and learned a lost from it, a substantial document thanks Bernie.

My younger bro and sis were slightly mystified by that visit, showed me a family tree but unfortunately didnt copy it; they were very surprised that I recalled a visit to some family in Dublin with my mum Maud Alice (Moggy) I was really quite young but remember Mog pointing out a massive 'Brush & Bristle' advert painted on the wall alongside where the ferry docked and said something like thats your grandfather Sam's, I thought it was his business, but maybe she meant he had painted it.

I also recall walking up a slight hill and into a rather grand detached house for the Dublin family visit - was it before or after Sam died, I was 9 at that time. Sam and Marion lived in Hoylake Wirral having moved there from lower Largo and I recall he worked in Edinburgh before retiring.

Hope this rather long intro is interesting thanks
