My name is Lee Penton grandson of Laura Elizabeth Switzer 1908-1998.Daughter of Edward Switzer 1866-1935 and Kate E.Davis 1851-1915.Thank you for sharing your website.Lee

I am the son of Bruce & Viola Cass & Grandson of Harry & Rebecca Cass. Rebecca was Rebecca Speiran of Sunderland Ont.

I've just found this site this evening, will dig up what info I have tomorrow and submit it.
I know I have relatives in Ontario. I'm originally from Denver,CO
Glad to be here!

Descended from the Pennsylvania "Dutch" Sweitzers who migrated to Western New York, and changed their name in the proces, but trace back to Swiss/Palatine. Not sure of any Irish connection to Hans Jacob.
My grandfather was Milton Eli Switzer (1890-1972) tracing back to George Switzer, born in Germany in 1811, John Henry Schweitzer who came to the US in 1832, and Jacob Schweitzer who died in Germany in 1791.

I am the husband of Nancy Bell. Nancy is the daughter of Earl and Gladys Bell, grand-daughter of Sarah Letitia Aspden.

I have worked on part of my side of the family tree and just started to work on Nancy's. A gift to our children and grandchildren.

just fornd this webcite. My husband is the Switzer and we just found some old handwritten notes as " stated from a Samuel Nicholas Switzer".

I am so happy to have found this site! SandraLynn Parish on Ancestry.com told me about it and I'm looking forward to reading up all about my ancestors! I am shocked that this family has been traced back so far in history! My connection is through my great grandmother, Margaret Eliza Switzer. I have information, pictures and stories that I can share about her and her family that come via my mother, Margaret Barr (Vesik)who has several recollections about her from grandmother from when she was a young girl.

This is a great site. I just started researching my family tree. Very interesting! My family is the Ruttan Family.

An amazing website!
I am a great, great granddaughter of Elizabeth Leoitzer Switzer (Eliza) b. 1839 d. 1910 (daughter of Rueben Switzer and Ann Sparling. I've been doing my family genealogy for the past five years now and have always been intrigued with the Switzer family roots. I'm so thrilled to find this site. I have had an old family group photo that I'm positive is Rueben Switzer and other family members but I cannot identify them. I'm hoping that this site will help me solve the decades old mystery. Please let me know how I can share this photo to see if anyone can help me. I'd be so greatful. I also have updates that I would be happy to share on this site.

So cool to see the family tree, dad is vern switzer, whos dad is percy switzer, whos dad is Cecil Switzer. awesome to be able to trace the family back all that way to Hans Jacob.

I am so happy to be able to see the switzergenealogy site

From Schweitzer to Switzer

Hello!!! I have just stumbled across this website and am SOOOOOOO excited!! I am the great grand-daughter of Emma Cecilia Switzer. I have a family tree on ancestry.ca and invite you to review it and help me to correct any errors in it. I am VERY much interested in my heritage and am just tickled pink about finding you!! :) Just wonder how far back we are all related!! I look forward to finding out!! :)

Hi, I am descended from the union of Garrett Miller and Catherine Switzer and have been tracing my tree for over 30 years. Family from my mothers side all come from the Napanee area. Your site is fantastic. Great job!! Pat

I am very interested in the Netterfield`s. Do you have any more info on them. I have a lot.

I do have updates for your sight if you want to get in touch.

Thank you for this site. I found my whole family here! I am descended from Hans Jacob Schweitzer through Martha Ann Switzer, (born August 4, 1831), and Jane Switzer, (born 1804). I am now a member of this site and will contribute as much information as I can.

Stumbling upon this website was a happy accident! I am very excited to have found it. John Switzer (1822-1902) Was my great-great grandfather. I own the exact same photo you have posted on this site. However, my great-grandfather, William Henry Switzer (1858-1927) is missing from your family tree. William Henry and his brother Ralph immigrated to the U.S from Ireland in 1881. I have a lot of data, including photos that I would be happy to share. Please contact me and advise. Thanks! Robin
