Day - 9 Sattel, Switzerland
In Sattel, we woke to the sounds of bells - bells dinging on the cows and bells ringing in the churches! What a delightful cacophony of music! After breakfast and a ride on the Alpine slide, we headed down the hill on a road NOT recommended by "Nancy", and the descent was much easier. We passed right by the original Ulrich farm! In the village, we met Herr Moser, the town administrator who took us to St. Peter and Paul Church. It is the church that all of the Ulrich ancestors were baptized in, and we were able to view the original record book showing the dates of the baptisms of Melchior and Frank X!! It indicated who the parents were, as well as who the sponsors were! We were invited to go to a neighboring town to see the legal records, but time was too short. Definitely a return trip is in order!
