I am researching my ex-husband's roots for my children. Their ancestor arrived in the USA in 1866. On the 1870 and 1880 censuses, he gave his birthplace as "Baden". Is this the same Baden-Wurttemburg existing today? This is quite interesting as my present husband's ancestors came from Wurttemburg, but family stories have their origin in Switzerland. I am good at old US geography but not European! Please help?
