BTW - there is already a discussion on Gerber von Langnau im Emmental BE where you could post your questions to a larger audience of Swiss resident researchers. Reading is free - to post you'd have to register, which is free of charge and without obligation. The forum is strictly non-commercial and tri-lingual - so English is finde.
