About

I’m Walter Amsler, a passionate genealogist who finds inspiration in discovering the past.

My passion for genealogy started more than 30 years ago. Over the last few years my research has progressed and expanded substantially. I have published numerous articles and developed my own website documenting my research.

To explore the origin of the Amsler families with different hometowns in Switzerland I use conventional paper research as well as genetic genealogy. The Amsler’s appear to have a common ancestor who lived in the first half of the 16th century. Since that time the surname has spread all over the world, including various Amsler lines who emigrated to the United States.

The objective of this website is to consolidate the research on these Amsler lines. Please feel free to contact me:
