If you would like to pre-reserve an item, please email Team USA at [email protected]. TRAVEL TIPS CREDIT CARD: Contact your credit card company to let them know that you will be traveling out of the country in order to avoid any blocks on your credit card. o Avoid bringing all unnecessary credit cards o Bring a copy of your bank’s contact information o If traveling with multiple people in your party, consider bringing a separate card for each of you o Make copies of all of your credit cards and bank information. Consider leaving one copy with a relative back home in case yours is lost or stolen. o Do not use your credit card in places when you sense “protection” of your card might not be most ideal. o Exchanging money might be easier at the airport but most banks are open 7 days a week. The best option is utilizing the cash machine option in Zurich since airports typically have a lower exchange rate and fee associated with the exchange. PASSPORT: Make copies of your passport. Bring the original and a copy with you but store in separate places. Leave one copy with a relative back home. CELL PHONES: Call your service provider prior to departure to let them know that you will be traveling internationally and to avoid any international service fees. We have learned over the years that having a phone overseas is very convenient but very important to note that there are many costs associated with travelling overseas and using your phone. Zofingen is an overseas flight- please note the following: o Begin hydrating at least one week prior to your flight. o Avoid caffeine and alcohol o Several days before your flight begin adjusting your internal clock according to the time zone you are flying into. o Zofingen is 6 hours ahead the East coast and is 8 ahead of the Mountain Time Zone; adjust your sleeping habits accordingly. o Wear loose-fitting clothing and shoes, pack a neck pillow, ear plugs or headphones, and an eye mask to sleep on the flight. o Avoid using escalators and moving sidewalks at the airport. Completing some form of exercise before your flight will help you sleep better on the plane. o Try to walk around or stand and stretch while on the plane. Stomach crunches, toe raises and shoulder exercises will also help your blood flow. IMPORTANT REMINDERS SECURITY o Write your name and Team USA on the tag of all of your gear. o Do NOT leave any bags unattended at any time. o If you have a safe in your hotel room, consider locking up all valuables. BIKE MECHANICS o Make sure your bike is in working order now, before you depart. o Packing your bike - If you are uncomfortable packing your bike, please request your bike shop to assist you. o Un-Packing your bike – You are encouraged to assemble your bike as much as you can. If you are not comfortable with this task, there will be limited mechanics available at the race site. o If you have a bike with special needs, please bring proper tools just in case mechanics do not have them. Bring any special parts as well. MEDICAL o Please bring any chronic/long-term medications that you might be taking for various medical conditions. In addition, bringing a list of other medications you have been using helps in the case of any acute medical problem. o A general list of medical conditions both chronic and recent is EXTREMELY helpful to the medical staff should any problems arise. o While medical staff does not “clear” your participation in this event, there are several conditions that should make you think twice about racing: . Use of blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, etc). If this is the case, we would ask that you provide the Team USA staff with a letter from you physician at home “clearing” you to compete and that you are aware of the risks involved. On-going symptoms of concussion/head injury o If you are transported to the medical tent during the race, have the medical team call for your Team USA Manager, Lauren Rios to come to the medical tent. o Medex International Insurance – If you haven’t already, please consider purchasing Medex International Race Insurance TEAM USA SCHEDULE *Schedule is tentative and subject to change. Any updates will be emailed to you and posted on the Team USA information board located on September 3, 2015.

  • Swiss Census Records Sonja Nishimoto AG® Familysearch [email protected]
    Swiss Census Records Sonja Nishimoto AG® FamilySearch [email protected] Class Objective: In this presentation you will learn about helpful records for the Swiss census, where to locate them and how to access them. INTRODUCTION Before the year 1850, the Swiss census [Volkszählung] was handled on a cantonal basis, meaning that there was no standardized system to account for the population in place at that time. Information obtained in these could vary between cantons and often was more for statistical purposes only. The first federal census was taken in 1850 and included the following information: • Households • Buildings and residences • Age/birth information • Religion • Social status • Foreign residence Canton Aargau The Family History Library has the census records for this canton for the years 1837 and 1850. The 1837 census was filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah in 1990 and consists of 4 microfilm rolls. They are not digitized. The films are arranged by the following districts: Aarau, Baden, Bremgarten, (first part of alphabet) on film 1692519 Bremgarten (second part of alphabet), Villingen, Fischbach, Göβlikon, Brugg, Kulm, Laufenburg, Eigen-Niederzeihen on film 1705871 Laufenburg, Niederzeihen-Wil, Lenzburg, Muri, and Rheinfelden on film 1705872 Zofingen and Zurzach on film 1705873 Information Contained in the 1837 Aargau Census • House number • Arranged alphabetically within given districts • Surnames and given names • Gender • Places of citizenship and origin • Foreign residence The 1850 census was also filmed
