Hi Joan
Rehetobel is not in Kanton (County) St. Gallen but in Kanton Appenzell Ausserrhoden. Statistics say that the Appenzell People have been more little than the rest of swiss people for hundreds of years. The Nafs (as I am) are very often citizens of Ebnat-Kappel, St. Gallen (
www.ebnat-kappel.ch). Salomea is a very untypical name. Anna Katherina was a very popular name in the old times. Wolf Seelentag maybe has more informations: Wolf Seelentag (e-mail:
