family history

I'm trying to trace my family history. I know that 3 Ibach brothers came to Illinois from near Bern, Switzerland. Their names were John (1854-1932), Christopher (died 1890), and Jacob (married Clara in Forest, Illinois). John and Christopher moved to Oregon. Only Jacob remained in Illinois. I'd like to find the Illinois family and see if they can trace back any family to Switzerland. Thanks!

John Ibach and Christian (not christopher)Ibach purchased a farm in Washington County,Oregon in 1889. Christian was murdered that same year. My Branch of the family is decended from John.
My Great grandfather was John Joeseph,my grandfather was a John Joeseph as was my father and eldest brother. My Father died in 1996 and my brother in 1969. If this has been some help I'm glad. As our branch of the family has not been very good about telling anyone our history, any information about us is gratefully accepted. Thank you, Merrie Ibach

I think we are related. Please contact me directly to my e-mail address at ilemme@cnw.com and we can talk directly. I believe your grandmother's name was Marion and John Ibach was married to Mary Teff. Contact me and I'll get your snail mail address and share what I have.

I should have put my name down instead of yours. Please respond so we can share information.
