At this late date in life, I found my distant cousins of Evanston all unable to hear of our lives since meeting many ions ago. For some reason, I decided to delve into the past and my distant cousins. Unfortunately, I am unable to fill in the years that have past us by. If any family members desire to hear of some stories of the Zuercher family, please contact me.
My grandmother was a Zuercher!
