| 13 | "Zähjs Holz" appears to say that Niklaus Gerber of Giebel, after his purchase of the Hapbach farm, moved and no longer was a member of the Neutäufer church. However, that statement is could be associated with the wrong Niklaus as the Neutäufer movement began in 1835. More likely, this Niklaus renounced his membership in the Mennonite church, not Neutäufer. | Gerber, Niklaus (I2699)

| 14 | 1895 Census confirms birth year. 1915 Iowa census shows an HL Garrels from Canaan, Henry Iowa at about the same age. It is possible he is a brother. He lists Germany as his birth place. Also listed in Henry, IA is an Albert L Garrels in 1930 census (about same age). Iowa Death Records show her mother's name is Aije, not Antje as it appears on the ship's passenger manifest. It seems to indicate her maiden name was Klingenborg Garrels were also present in Ireton, IA. The earliest known from 1839 could have been her mother. At least one of Hilka's children was born in Matlock, Sioux County, IA, which is very close to Ireton. Appears to be many Haans in the area as well, so this is likely the family that appears to be related to Hilka. 1880 Census shows a Harmon Garrels and siblings living with Weert and Sara Garrels in Franklin, Des Moines, IA. His birthplace is listed as Ostories Laduch. 1920 Census confirms German heritage. So does her obituary. It is unclear at this point the exact location from which Hilka emigrated. Census data and her obituary shows she came from Germany, and her name is spelled "Hilke", the German form. According to her obituary she is from the Emden area, Ostfriesland, Germany. Emden may have been her port of departure. Most immigrants from Germany at that time came to the US through New Orleans. Lana Kratz, a decendent of Hilka, stated in an email that her mother told her that Hilka was from Emden. It is unknown as to where her mother received that information. It was possibly passed down from generation to generation. It is confirmed by information of Familysearch.org. There is another family from the same area (Theodorus Garrels and Hilke, or Hilka according to census, Harms) who came from Germany. Hilka came from Ostfriesland, but it is unclear the origin of Theodorus. In any case, their families have many similarities. Birth dates of the children are within 2 years from each other. Their childrens names are Trientje (Trina), Agnes (?), Harm, Elske (or Elka), Helen (Hilka). Theodorus and Hilke Harms were married in Parkersburg, Butler County, IA. You will find Haan's and Garrels both in that county. In fact, there was a Bena Garrels born in Emden who immigrated with her parents, Jacob Sluiter and Anna Garrels. From Appledorn genealogy: [387] Theodorus Garrels married Hilke Heren Harms in 1885. Mrs. Garrels was born Hilke Heren in Ogle County, llinois. Her parents died when she was very young and she lived with the Wesley Harms family. At the age of eight 8 moved with her foster parents to near Parkersburg, Iowa where she lived for many years. Here she met Mr. Garrels. They were married and soon after that moved to Lyon County. The Garrels farmed until they retired to George many years later.

| 15 | 1911 News Photo Police Officer Ottie Schlotfeldt (48 KB) This photo from an article in the Sioux City, Iowa newpaper turned up from a family member after the author had been searching for a long time through other sources. The family story was that Adolph "Ottie" Schlotfeldt, son of Henry F. Schlotfeldt had been found shot "mysteriously" in Sioux City and we had only a year of 1911. We still haven't found the details but now can get closer. On the back of this photo it discusses Arizona's first statehood election being held the day Ottie was killed. Arizona historical archives indicate that date to be Dec. 12, 1911. We now know the date. Interesting "jigsaw" pieces of the Genealogy process. | Schlotfeldt, Adolph (I0600)

He left Canton Berne and married a Catholic woman. Because she was Catholic, he could not inherit under Berne law. - Marianne Gerber, October 28, 2001 According to Ruedi Gerber of Vorder Giebel, he had arranged to pay off his debts with his debtors. He had taken a loan against his inheritance because he became bankrupt. He lived for a time in Schwertschwänden, Ufhusen, Luzern. | Gerber, Christian (I0495)
|
| 21 | According to "Zähjs Holz" A Niklaus from Hapbach was married to Anna Steiner, the widow of Ulrich Steiner of Eggiwil. However, that appears to be incorrect. Her marriage record to Niklaus Gerber in the Eherodel shows her last name was Janni at the time of the marriage and that she was born with Steiner surname. There is an inscription on a stove in the house that says, "Komm Wärme dich bei mir. Ich ofen gönn es dir. Niclaus Gerber Anna Steiner 1829" Translated into English, the inscription reads "Come warm yourself by me. I wish you well. Niclaus Gerber and Anna Steiner 1829. | Family F0167

| 26 | According to documents obtained from family in Switzerland, he was suspected to be the father mentioned in the Gerber Book of Deacon Michael Gerber of Hapbach, a Mennonite minister who immigrated to Ohio (USA) and who became the ancestor of 650 descendants. However, his birth and death dates are a little off. Deacon Michael emigrated from Chaluet in the Bernese Jura, likely due to fleeing from religious persecution. The spouse names are not the same, either. This individual was known to live at the farm called Hinter Baeregg in Langnau. Both individuals are mentioned separately in the "Heimatrodel der Tauferfamilien von Langnau 1791-1870" with different families. Finally, Deacon Michael's father's name was said to be Christian, not Michael. | Gerber, Michael (I0492)

| 43 | According to Nemaha County, KS Berwick Township 1900 Federal census, it is also possible this Christian (Nov 1866 Switzerland) married Anna Elizabeth Nusbaum (Eliza) (May 1863 Switzerland), and had Anna E (19 May 1891 Switzerland), Elizabeth/Lizzie (Mar 1893 Swizerland), and Ida (23 Jan 1900 Kansas).

|
| 49 | According to Sharon Gerber, Nicklaus had 9 children. John was the oldest. When he was old enough to work on his own, he moved away.
