Subscribe to my channel: goo.gl/y9hQsB When I was about 5 I heard at a family gathering that my family through my maternal grandfather (the one I went to Israel with) emigrated to Denmark from Germany. Maybe that was what sparked my first fascination with history. Later on we found out that the family could actually be traced all the way back to Switzerland which was.. in my eyes.. on of the most magical countries. So I was very pleased with that. Ever since the genealogists found the area in Switzerland and the exact village I knew I had to go there one day. There are many places in Switzerland I really wanted to see on this trip, but I made this little corner of the country my priority.. I havn't regretted it one bit. Here I start out In Schiers, a small town in the Graubünden canton. this is where my 9 times grandparents Christian Pitschi and Magdalena mayer were married, where they went to church, baptised their children and there they were eventually buried. Christian and Magdalena Pitschi lived in a small mountain village not far from Schiers, called Montagna. It's a small gathering of only a few houses and barns all with stunning views. I hope you enjoy this a bit more personal video from me.
