Actually, this tradition came down thru the Stuckey line in our family. They came from Alsace Lorraine, France. But that area was at different times in history under either France, Switzerland or Germany. So who knows? And it's very possible (even likely) that the Stuckeys actually migrated to the area from Switzerland a few generations prior.
My grandma always said of my grandfather (the Stuckey guy) that he was "German and Dutch and not worth much".
I found out how 2/3rds of that was true when I began doing our genealogy.
