Tschudy Family Members in Ohio in the Moravian Church
As you may know, I will be posting information on various branches of the Tschudy family whether directly descended from them or not. If we trace back far enough, the family springs from the same family, so there is a relationship no matter how distanced by time and geography. I hope this information that was generously shared by Mary (her email addy is noted below) will prove helpful to other Tschudy researchers. The Tschudy's listed below come from another Canton in Switzerland than did my Martin Tschudy.
