I made a lot of additions to original posts of ancestors plus added a few new ones.

Torre Pellice Musuem

Torre Pellice Museum. I would love to give you a commentary but we got there 1/2 hour before it closed and so we ran through it as fast as we could. It tells the history of the Valdese. Much of it reminded me of my own LDS (Mormon) history including stories of persecution, hole in the rock, immigration, and survival. The spirit of the place was triumphant. If you visit Torre Pellice plan on spending at least 1 full day (2 would be better). So much to see and take in. I felt it an honor to come from such a heritage.

Radelfingen


Radelfingen - Where the Tschannen Ancestors are from. The cemetery and phone book listed many Tschannens.
