Very early this morning sleepy me accidentally broke his #1 brick wall: While trying to find my way through the official website of the city of #Lugano, in order to find somebody to ask about the rumor that my 3x great-grandmother Kunigunde #Schindler (yes, the one with the revolver) was buried with her employers - the #Dollfus family. Turns out: they have a grave database for their cemeteries and guess what? She's in there!!! https://cimiteri.lugano.ch/risultati.html?search_surname=schindler #genealogy #ahnenforschung #Tessin

Some weeks ago I was told that my favourite ancestor, Kunigunde #Schindler (yes, the one with the gun!) apparently was buried with her employer family, the #Dollfus of #Castagnola (#Lugano) in Switzerland. Now I found photos of their grave, but no trace of her. May it be that she was buried there but didn't receive a sign?

On April 22, 1959 astronomer Audouin #Dollfus made from Villacoublay, France an ascent to 43000 ft in a sealed cabin, using a cluster of 105 sounding balloons.
The lightweight #gondola, a 230-pound sphere of thin metal about six feet in diameter, was sealed, pressurized, and air-conditioned.
During the flight, the #balloon system stabilized at an altitude of about 43,000 feet. He studied the Moon, #Venus & other planets with a #telescope coupled to a spectrophotometer.
