My great grandfather came over from Preles Bern Switzerland. My aunts had written informaton and they spelled it Prilly Bern Switzerland. I don't know if there is a difference or not. My father was Kermit O Gauchat and was the son of Charles Gauchat. Charles' father was August Gauchat and he was one of several brothers that came to United States and South America. I think there were seven of them. Do you know what your great great grandparents names were?

Surnames: GAUCHAT
GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS DINA GAUCHAT
HER MOTHER WAS I BELIEVE LINA OR LENA GAUCHAT GIANQUE. LENA AND DINA CAME TO THE U.S. LENA HAD ONE SISTER THAT I KNOW OF, OCTAVIA, NEVER MARRIED, AND SHE STAYED IN SWITZERLAND. NOT SURE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER SIBLINGS.. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY MENTION OF LENA'S HUSBAND... THE STORY WE ALWAYS HEARD WAS THAT LENA CAME TO THE U.S. WHEN DINA WAS AROUND 15 YRS OLD, WITH NO HUSBAND, TO BE A GOVERNESS. I DONT KNOW IF THERE WAS A HUSBAND AND HE MAYBE DIED, OR IF THERE WAS NONE...??

I don't know about the relationship. My father's grandfather came over from Switzerland, Canton, with 7 brothers and they all settled in different areas with some returning to Switzerland.

Looking for information on the Gaucchat line... Looking into my ancestry.. Looks as though I am stuck once I get to Berne Switzerland. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Great great Grandmother was Dina Gauchat.
