My great grandfather, Alcide Cachelin, and his wife, Mary Reichenbach, married about 1868-1874 in Neuchatel, and travelled from their home in Neuchatel to Virginia (USA), settling early on in Pittsylvannia County, Virginia. Their youngest child, Mina (Minnie) Cachelin, who was born in Pittsylania County, married Richard Thomas Eggleston, of Norfolk, Virginia, and it appears that most of the children of Alcide and unknown settled into the Norfolk area. Mary Reichenbach's father was "Fritz", and among his daughters, two married Jacot (Augustin and Jules), and others married Jules Calame, Alcide Cachelin, Condaus, Guimpart, Bingeurell and Ritter. Many, if not most, of these descendants came to America by 1900.
Can anyone steer me to the ancestry of both the Cachelin and Reichenbach line. I remember that in the 1960's, my mother inherited a small sum from a great aunt who died without a will in Neuchatel, and my mother had some correspondence with Swiss probate authorities or estate administrators.
Any communication would be most appreciated. Oddly enough, my father's family (Kaufmann) came from the greater Berne area some two hundred years earlier....
