Huber-Gygax Research

I am almost finished cleaning up obvious duplicate children and making sure all temple work is done for the entire family with the Huber-Gygax line. It has taken a bunch of time, but I wanted to get it cleaned up in an effort to cut down on duplicate work.

I have found a couple of problems. I don't think the Barbara Laedermann line is correct. After finding the correct marriage date, it all but puts her out of the picture. On the other hand, there is a really good chance that we have the correct Rudolf. With the help of witnesses, I think we have put his line together correctly.

Barbara on the other hand, will be a little bit of a challenge for me. Here is the information I have so far.

Our Barbara Laedermann: (estimated 1737)
Married (Hans) Rudolf Fridli on 17 May 1757 in Bannwil, Aarwangen District, Bern Canton, Switzerland. They are the parents of: Salomon (1757-1758), Anna Maria (1759), Barbara (1762), Salomon (1763), Anna Barbara Friedli (1764-1833), Hans Ulrich (Friedli (1765), Hans Rudolf (1767), Verena Friedli (1769 and Hans Jacob Friedli (1774).

Possible Barbara's:

Not Possible Barbara's:
Anna Barbara Laedermann: estimated to be much to old to be my #251 on pedigree (listed above)
Daughter of Rudolf from
Had a child, no husband listed, Elisabeth - born 27 Aug, Chr 8 Sep 1822 in Niederbipp (K6_021)
