The percentage of emigrants who left Switzerland without permission and paying the obligatory “moving-away tax” was fairly high, so there may be no record of their departure. Passports were not registered until the mid-19th Century. Some passport indexes for Canton Bern have been published by Picton Press on CD-Rom. The Family History Library Catalog can be checked for additional resources using “[canton] – emigration/immigration”. If the canton of origin of a pre-1848 emigrant is known, one can contact the appropriate State Archive for further information. To obtain information concerning emigrants who left after 1848, the Schweizer Bundesregierung, Bundeshaus, CH-3000 Bern, Switzerland, can be contacted.<br>Resources:<br>[http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/CH/emigra-m.htm - http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/CH/emigra-m.htm -] lists emigration sources by canton.<br> | The percentage of emigrants who left Switzerland without permission and paying the obligatory “moving-away tax” was fairly high, so there may be no record of their departure.
