Question:

Roger Federer?

Is he related to the Anslinger family of Switzerland? There is a pronounced resemblance.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: For a German speaker there is no pronounced resemblance between Ferderer and Anslinger except of the ending -er. As this is a very common ending of last names in Switzerland, Germany and Austria it does not indicate a relation.

Most likely Anslinger is not of Swiss origin at all . There is only one entry for this name in the Swiss phone directory and I couldn't find it in the Swiss family handbook. As about 300 Germans have this last name it is more likely to be German.
