Abstract

"In January 1743 the whole family emigrated to Carolina.

Thereafter no more news came to Dorlikon." With this footnote the

entries to Rudolf Eprecht's line in the Epprecht family chronicle

end. It touched me when, three decades ago, I received Reverend

Robert Epprecht's research work on the Epprecht family as a gift.

According to Reverend Epprecht's findings, other villagers from

Dorlikon had also left for Carolina, among whom a certain Conrad

Basler with his family. Did they ever reach the other side of the

Ocean? If so, where did they settle? And do these families still exist

today?
