Hello I think it was Emil Vogl who wrote that Logy originally came from Switzerland. Since 1512 the region of Chiavenna (Cleven), Veltlin (Valtellina) and Bormio (Worms) were part of the "Drei Bünde", who were associated with the Eidgenossenschaft, but not member if it. After Napoleon the Drei Bünde lost these three regions. So Plurs (today Piuro) was then really a part of one of the associated "countries" but not member of the Eidgenossenschaft (today Switzerland).
I made some research and in 2006 it was Dr. Martin Bundi who wrote me that the family "Lossi / Lossio" probably came from Italy as protestants and lived in Plurs and then came to Poschiavo (today in Switzerland) where the family was first mentioned in 1581, then in 1593, 1639 and so on. The Lossios were important political persons in this region. Perhaps we know really more after this congress in Plurs?
