Johannes Thurni/Thurny is my 6th great grandfather, through his son Daniel who emigrated to the US in 1740. Johannes is in Rieschweiler by 1711 as one of his sons was baptised in that year. I am hoping to find source info on this family in Rieschweiler. Also wonder what caused Johannes to move to Germany - perhaps the War of the Palatinate? I've searched here at rootsweb, ancestry.com, family search (LDS), genforum, and many other sites, but am unable to find actual documentation of the Thurni (spelling variations) family in Rieschweiler. Please suggest where/how I can.
Also it would be great to connect with other Turney family members!
Thanks!
