Le Répertoire des noms de famille suisses est un manuel indispensable pour les généalogistes et les historiens. Il énumère par ordre alphabétique toutes les familles qui possédaient en 1962 le droit de cité d'une commune suisse. Pour chaque famille, il indique la commune (ou les communes) dont elle est bourgeoise ("commune d'origine"), la date d'acquisition du droit de bourgeoisie, le lieu ou le pays dont elle était originaire avant cette acquisition ("ancien lieu d'origine")
La liste des patronymes ci-dessous extraite de ma liste complète "Familles alliées de par le monde", reprend les patronymes principaux pour lesquels je possède un peu plus d'information. (Mise à jour le 14 mars 2019).
