**Completed** Switzerland: question regarding birthplace, where or what is "Bam"
« on: Friday 16 January 15 21:17 GMT (UK) »
The 1860 United States census provides the birthplace of Mary A. Rugley (b. ~1806 - I do not have her maiden name yet) as "Bam" which I have strong reason to believe is (was) in Switzerland. Below are two images of the term as it is written by that enumerator. Anyone know what or where is "Bam"?
