Grandfather went to India and he owned 3 estates Poomulla, Cotta Naad and Richmond. The Poomulla estate is still running and is owned by Gerry Mcleod. There is a lot history how the Atzenwilers lost all their estates. My wife is Swiss, and we visited where my Grandfather and Great Grandparents came from. They came from the village of Loomis. The Atzenwiler name can be traced to Swiss Confederation and to the Northern region of France. All this information where the Atzenwiler came from is written in the birth register where you will see my Grand Fathers name. Claude atzen@sympatico.ca
