As a retired IT expert I have rediscovered my passion for genealogy which started more than 30 years ago. That is when I started my genealogical research by collecting basic data from the birth- death- and marriage-records of my hometown Boezen in Canton Aargau, Switzerland. My first family tree was printed with an HP Plotter. With having modern tools and many more resources available now, my research has progressed and expanded substantially.
The objective of this website is to document my findings and make them available to anyone interested in genealogy and local history. Please feel free to contact me:
