answer to "kellu_1" asking:

<< I am researching the Bourquin's of Swiss ancestry.... settled in Kansas. >>

The earliest Swiss Bourquin I have in KS, arrived on the ship Labrador, from Le Havre to NY, 11 Jun 1879 .

Louis Paul & Cecile Adele Bourquin, and family, who settled first in Spicer, Richardson, NE, before moving to Wendell, Thomas, KS

I have another family of Swiss in 1900 : in Mission, Brown, KS
Emile & Olive Bourquin [indexed by Ancestry as Bomquise]

both of these families were from the Canton of Berne but may not be related: Louis Paul Bourquin was a farmer, Emile was a jeweler.

then, in 1900 Hackberry, Labette, KS.
Edward Bourquin, born in OH, of Swiss father & French mother.

I have collected some info on these 3 families but I cannot dig more in my notes until September [we travel for work, and rarely have acces to the Internet.]
I will be happy to share what I have.
