I am looking for any information regarding Frederick WILLENER and his wife, Eloise NICOLETTE. They emigrated from Switzerland in 1877, though we do not know from where in Switzerland. Frederick was born 10 August 1855. Eloise was born 12 January 1859. They had no children when they arrived in America. Their 2 children, Fred J. and Johanna, were born in Pennsylvania where Frederick worked in the coal mines for 4 years before settling at Medford, Wisconsin. Fred J. changed his surname to WILLNER. If anyone has additional information about these people, I would be most grateful to hear from them.

I am searching for any relatives of my grandfather, Christian WILLENER, who was born in 1873 at Sigriswil, Switzerland. He emigrated to the United States and applied for citizenship in 1906 in Oregon. He married Louise HEINZ in Oregon in 1910. They had 3 sons: Ernst Edward, Henry Christian, and John G. At the time of his death in the 1930s, his mother, 2 sisters, and 2 brothers were living in the Sigriswil--Swanden area.
