Diesbach.........1553 Linthal.............1553 Schwanden.....1580 Details from the Billeter's collection are available on film ( FHL INTL Film 193485 ) from the LDS. Much (if not all) of Billeter's data has been transferred to the "International Genealogical Index (IGI)" also available at LDS Family History Centres. Biography of Julius Billeter, Jr. (1869-1957), a Mormon convert, who immigrated in 1882 from Switzerland to Willard Utah, and then to Salt Lake City. He was joined by his father and mother and most of their family in 1884. Julius Jr. married Maria Emie Wilker in 1891, and in 1899/1900 they moved to Switzerland, with Julius Jr. serving as an agent for the Genealogical Society of Utah, and doing genealogical research for various individuals. Many of the early names in this "STREIFF FAMILY TREE" refer to Billeter's archive numbers as well as the Folio number from the hand written book from which they were transcribed. Note: In most cases with reference to Streiff files, Julius's notes are correct but their is the occassional mistake.
