Well, after making fun of my two brothers-in-law for years, telling them they are not really Swiss because they grew up in a Village called Hallau in the Canton ofĀ Schaffhausen, this is a part of Switzerland, looping very close into the German border, it was infact easier for them to drive from the village through Germany in oder to get to where we all live now, in central Switzerland. My son Alex wanted to know where our family name originally came from. Because our last name, Koepf, is the only one in Switzerland. A cousin of mine, who also wanted to investigate the same, I found out that my great-great-grandfather was from a small town called Pfronten, in Bavaria.
Now the joke is on me since I am, apparently, more German than they are! 
Now I would have to travel to Munich, the main city hall and archives, to get more info as to why, how, and when he emigrated here, and why we landed and settled in Switzerland.
Thatās Karma!
