Map showing the birthplaces of my great-great-grandparents in Binningen and Baden, Switzerland, and the relationship with the Krabach Valley area in Western Austia. The distance between Binningen and Baden is about 35 miles. From Badden to the Krabach Valley, about 90 miles as the crow (krahe) flies. Married about 1840 in Baden and had their first of 8 children in Ohio, United States, about 1840. So both emigrated at the age of 27. Genealogy from Beth Benoit, NH. (Click on map to enlarge.)
