Our Area, in Bern Canton, Switzerland

Christening record of Anna ZurLinden

Translation help needed

I really need help reading the purple area. I will go and print another copy to see if I can get a

better shot, and then repost without the color. I want this entry to read:

Maria ?Eslam or Ehrsam (spelling help needed) born/christened 20 Jan 1678

Parents: Jacob Ehrsam, and Catharina ?Marti? .

Any suggestions?

Fridli or Friedli Family Book

Copy of a page from the Familiennamenbuch der
Sweitz for Friedli.

Gygax Family Book

The Gygax Family Book, found in the Familiennamenbuch der Schweiz. This page includes: Gyfi - to "H".

Schaad Family Book

Schaler - Schachlter in the Familiennamenbuch der Schweiz. We are usually interested in where the families are located with the appendix "a" which means the family was found in that area before 1800.

Barbara Laedermann

Taken from #2005937 Madiswil, Bern Canton, Switzerland records in the year of 1729, 24 April:

Barbara (Lädermann) (daughter of)

Peter Lädermann and Anna Magli.

Witnesses were: Hans Bofiger, Babi Jaggi, and Margreth Mumenthaler.

We originally had a different birthdate and parents for Barbara. But after finding her marriage date we realized that we had the wrong person.

Although I believe this to be our line. I am still in the process of proving it.

Letters to Anna

Notice the link on the right hand side "Letters to Anna". These are copies of letters and translations to Anna Maria Elizabeth Huber Hafen from her family in Switzerland. There are still three that need to be translated.

Hermine Schneider-Hunziker

On envelope containing pictures:

Frau Hermine Schneider-Hunziker, Ober Huber F2, St. Zurich Switzerland.

After searching I believe the man to be Rudolf Schneider, her husband.

I have not found a blood tie yet with either of these people. The letter was sent to my Grandmother Eliza Anna Gubler, or her mother Anna Mary Elizabeth Huber Hafen, who is a Gygax descendent. Annie possible knew these people from when she lived in Switzerland and had joined the LDS Church. Frau Schneider was also a member of the church in that area.
