In the Pforzheim region of Germany, ~ 40 Km NW of Stuttgart (and ~ 120 Km north of Schaffhausen, Switzerland), there is a large group of Britsch’s. These Britsch’s are the result of one Swiss immigrant, Jakob Brütsch, (born ~ 1615 +/-2 yrs), from the towns of Ramsen and Biberach (currently Bibermühle), who had seven (7) sons in his new country, Germany. But he also had eight (8) children in Biberach before he left Switzerland.
This story is presented in a scholarly, genealogical analysis report by Konstantin Huber of Pforzheim, where he is the Director of the Kreisarchiv des Enzkreises (county archive of the Enz River region).
More information from the report is in the table below and on the SGFF website. The full report can be read by clicking on the PDF file, on the left side of this page.
