Trying to find more information on a relative of mine from Switzerland .... Johann Oberst.
He was born about 1837 in Switzerland.
Changed his first name to John, then the last name to August. They flip flopped names on records, however.
Came to the US sometime before 1865 (ish) and married Louisa Staible, also from Switzerland. They lived in the Jersey City, NJ area.
Had 8 children, Wilhelm, Gustave, Louise, Herman, Bertha, William, Franz, and Louis.
I am really just trying to find out information relating to the deaths of Johann and his wife Louisa, or maybe information pertaining to where in Switzerland they were from. I cannot find any records of them besides the 1880 census.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Thanks!
