I'm looking for my great grandparents passenger list in Dec. of 1890 and 1891. I have found records for the SS Switzerland for other years and months but can't seem to find these, may have been lost in a fire. Does anyone have any suggestion where I might find these?

Since we don't know where you have already looked, it is difficult to suggest other alternatives.

What are the names of your ggparents? Nationality? Why do you think they sailed on SS Switzerland?

My great grandfather was Wilhelm(William)Friederich Malzahn - 1867-1942, great grandmother was Ida Kawentel - 1871-1936. The spelling of both last names are questionable. They were German as far as I know. However, William says his place of birth was Tiergart, Germany, which I have not found anywhere. Ida was born Klein Krebs, Germany. I think I have traced them to the Marienwerder region in Poland, near Kwidyzn. I have my great grandfathers Intention of Declaration and his Certificate of Citizenship which states he left Antwerp, Belgium on the SS Switzerland in December of 1890 or 1891 and arrived either in Baltimore, Maryland or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The were married in Philadelphia, moved later to Delaware and then to Colorado where they are buried. Hope this helps.
