Swiss Kanton Location

Subject: Swiss Kanton Location 

Books which are essential for researching 
Swiss ancestors:
 
 
A book that is on microfisch and available at any LDS FHL.  
This was a book that indexes Swiss surnames and gives locations 
and dates where that name existed in that location.  The 
microfilm number is 6053507. In the Library of Congress I saw 
almost the same type of book but was newer.  It was three 
volumes and the title was in 5 languages.  In english it was 
_The Origin of Swiss Surnames_  .
 
Another book that I wrote about on the net is called: 
_Familiengeschichtliche Bibliographie der Schweiz_ by Mario von 
Moos, Camden, ME : Picton Press, 1993.  LC CALL NUMBER: 
Z5313.S9 M67 1993.

You must however look at it because it has over 10,000 surnames 
and a Town register that tell what families are in each town.  
Remember though that this book is a  bibliography of Swiss 
genealogies so it is just contains citations of published 
genealogies and the researcher.  The  published genealogies may 
only be found in an archive in Switzerland or may be in the US 
libraries.  In my case they are in Switzerland so I am trying 
to contact the person that did the research and he may send me 
a copy or I don't know what.

There is another volume of 8 books that I saw at the Library of 
 Congress. They have a set written in German and a set written 
in French that I saw:
