| 751 | The parentage of Barbli (Barbara) Blaser is not established fact. There is a possibility that her parents are Bernhard Blaser and Elisabeth Gerber, instead of Mathys Blaser and Brysi Priscilla Gerber. | Blaser, Barbara (I5516)
|
| 752 | The year on one of her birth records should show 1860, not 1861. | Garrels, Cornelia Classen (I173)
|
| 753 | Their son, Ulrich, has a baptism record that is testified to by a Maria Roesthlisberger, spouse of Niklaus Gerber. This Niklaus could be Hans' father, or possibly his brother. | Gerber, Johannes (I0415)
|
| 754 | There appears to be a story about this Peter Gerber on page 393 in "Geschichte der bernischen Täuffer". | Gerber, Peter (I0503)
|
| 755 | There are many Klingenberg individuals listed in 1905 IA Census for both Grundy County and Lyon County. Those listed in Grundy County are Klas, Ettier, Habbe, Klass, Maggie, Peter, Tennie. Those listed in Lyon County are Hilka, John, Katie, Klass, Nancy, and Nickoley. There is an Aje Garrels with daughter Hilka who arrived on a ship called "Main" from Bremen. AIJE Garrels buried in Grundy, IA. She died 24 May 1884, just 8 days after arriving in the US. The birth years match. Her maiden name was Klingenberg. Grundy is where Hilka found her husband. Aije is also the name used on the marriage certificate. The passenger manifest showing Antje is difficult to read and was probably spelled incorrectly. It was also spelled Aÿe in Germany as the "J" would have been pronounced as a "Y". Records show she was widowed twice before her last husband. Her first husband was Georg Jakob Veerde and the second was Klaas Mennen Menenga. Garrelt Theodorus Garrels was her third husband. Aije's surname was Klinkenborg, but appears also to be Klinkenberg, Klingenborg, and Klingenberg depending on the document. Her middle name appears as Cornelius, Cornelia, or Condita depending on the document. She is noted to be from Emden, Ostfriesland, Hannover, Germany. Emden was an independent city state at the time of her emigration but was under protection from the Netherlands. So, she is noted as being from the Netherlands in some documents, but those documents also denote cities which are now considered part of Germany. | Klingenberg, Aye Cornelius (I3602)
|
| 756 | There are some that claim Niklaus' christening was on 3 Jul 1735. There is no record of it in the States Archive of Canton Bern (page 90). The information that Niklaus was the son of Matthys Gerber is incorrect. It came from Julius Billeter who made many errors. Family records confirm that Niklaus was the son of Michael Gerber, owner of Giebel, and whose inscription remains there. | Gerber, Niklaus (I2527)
|
| 757 | There is a note from Sue to Erma saying that Fred and Emma's baby girl died. That could be a reference to Jane. | Gerber, Jane (I0008)
|
| 758 | There is a record in the Totenrodel dated 31 Dec 1774 stating that Christian Grimm, widow in Dorft, staying with the Gerichtsaess, Daniel Gerber, at Ober Im Dorft | Gerber, Christian (I5869)
|
| 759 | There is another date (14 Nov 1696) attributed for this marriage. | Family F4484
|
| 760 | There is no Ulrich Steiner listed in the Kirchenbuch of Langnau for this date; there is a Hans Steiner listed with this parentage for this date of Jun 1568. | Steiner, Ulrich (I5895)
|
| 761 | There is not a definite link between Christina Burkhalter and her parents. However, we know Christina comes from Langnau and was born around 1720. There are very few Christina Burkhalters recorded as born in Switzerland around that time, and only one in Langnau. We can say with a high degree of confidence that Christen and Barbara are her parents. | Family F1193
|
| 762 | There was a Hans Gerber born to Niklaus Gerber living at Baumgarten in 1775. Han's birthdate was 20 Jul 1764, born to Niklaus Gerber and Anna Roethlisberger. His birth record confirms he was born at Baumgarten. | Gerber, Johannes (I0415)
|
| 763 | There was a Susanna Glauser found in the I.G.I. who might possibly be our Susanna Glauser, She was christened 16 Jun 1726 at Rueti bei Lyssach, Bern, Switzerland.,and was a daughter of Samuel Glauser and of Elsbeth Moser. This Susanna Glauser was the only one found in the I.G.I in this time period with a definite christening date. | Glauser, Susanna (I19206)
|
| 764 | They had eight children | Family F0875
|
| 765 | They lived in Twixtum at one point. | Family F54
|
| 766 | This Christian Baumgartner is likely the the person mentioned in Geschichte der Bernischen Täufer as working with Christian Gerber (which would be his father-in-law) in forming the Neutäufer. | Baumgartner, Christian (I2696)
|
| 767 | This Christian was found still living at Vorder Giebel at the age of 30 in 1757, but then we lose track of him. It is possible that this individual was the father of Deacon Michael Gerber who emigrated to the US (Ohio). According to "Historical sketches of seven generations : descendants of Deacon Michael Gerber, 1763-1938", there were 4 children born to a Christian Gerber of Hapbach: Michael, Christian, Barbara Ulrich. All four children were born in Chaluet, Court, likely because they were Anabaptist because Chaluet provided amnesty for displaced Anabapists. The four children born in Chaluet were born in 1763, 1768, 1773, 1783, respectively. Michael, Ulrich, and Barbara emigrated in 1822 to the US with nephew, Jacob, son of their brother Christian. We do know that this individual, Christian the son of Michael, had a brother, Johann, who was an Anabaptist. There is a reference in "Zähjs Holz" of a Christian living at Giebel who was "banned" in 1749 presumably for being an active Anabaptist. Page 22 of the Heimatrodel der Taueferfamilien Langnau indicates Christian's spouse's name was Catharina Waelti. This would be Christian, the father of the aforementioned Michael Gerber who immigrated to Ohio, USA. Descendants of Deacon Michael Gerber have visited Giebel believing that they one of their ancestors, Michael, had lived there. It is possible that their ancestor named Christian is the same as this individual. However, that would mean that he was banished at 24 years old, and his children would have been born when he was between 38 and 59 years old. That would be unusual, but certainly not implausible. His children emigrated when they were advanced in age in 1822, so he obviously could not join them as he would have likely been deceased. | Gerber, Christian (I2524)
|
| 768 | This family appears to have lived in Muenster in the Jura mountains. That would indicate they fled from religious persecution. According to the "Geschichte der bernischen Täufer" by Ernst Müller, civil penalties, including loss of land, could have been the penalty if not all children were baptized by the age of 16. This would explain why the family is later living in the Jura mountains. It would also explain why the youngest male child, Ulrich, was baptized on 15 Mar 1811. He would have been the child to maintain rights to their farm, Hinter Baeregg. So, there was a pragmatic reason to have him baptized. | Family F0196
|
| 769 | This family information came from Julius Billeter and cannot be trusted. Further confirmation is necessary. | Family F1389
|
| 770 | This family lived at Baregg. | Family F0803
|
| 771 | This family lived at Oberlehn in Langnau. | Family F0760
|
| 772 | This family lived at the farm of Baumgarten when Anna Barbara was born. However, they lived at Altenei. Exactly which Altenei house is not known. However, Anna Barbara Gerber who married Christian Gerber was said to come from Alteneischürli. | Family F1339
|
| 773 | This family, or at least some of the children, appear to live in the Grindel houses in the 1650s. Konrad appears to have lived in Stierenberg. Matthys and Ulli lived at Grindel houses. Another Ulli Roethlisberger lived at Grindel Wald. He was a little younger, born approximately 1712-1713 and married in 1735, and was probably a grandson of Hans and Anna Gerber | Family F0168
|
| 774 | This marriage actually took place in Sumiswald, Bern, Switzerland, and not in Langnau. | Family F4508
|
| 775 | This marriage is confirmed in "Historical sketches of seven generations : descendants of Deacon Michael Gerber, 1763-1938" | Family F0145
|
| 776 | This marriage possibly took place in Trub, Bern, Switzerland. | Family F1632
|
| 777 | This marriage took place in Hochstetten, Bern, Switzerland, according to the Kirchenbuch of Langnau. The marriage was registered in Langnau. | Family F0198
|
| 778 | This marriage took place in Sigriswil, Bern, Switzerland, according to the marriage entry, not in Langnau, as previously submitted by someone else. | Family F1522
|
| 779 | This might possibly be the same person as Christian Burkhalter who was christened 9 Mar 1679 in Langnau (RIN 16679). | Burkhalter, Christian (I4165)

|
| 782 | Took over Baumgarten in 1695. Gave up the farm to his four sons. Another owner of the farm was also named Niklaus, and he passed away in 1754. Likely, he was this Niklaus' son. | Gerber, Niklaus (I5878)

| 787 | Unable to find birth date in Taufrodel. | Gerber, Niklaus (I5867)
|
| 788 | Upon the death of their father, Michael inherited "Hinter Bäregg", but he did not appear at the division of the estate. Instead, he sent a representative, Niklaus Gerber of Ober Hapbach. This would have been "Giebel-Glais". The reason was not given for Michael's absence. It has been surmised by some there was ill-feelings between the two, but it appears that Michael in exile in the Jura during this time. Farmer at Hinter Bäregg. Co-managed Giebel before his mother's death. This Michael's brother, Christian, was known to be a well-respected elder in the Mennonite church before converting to the "Neutaufer" movement. His cousin, Johannes, was also Anabaptist. Unter Hapbach was purchased by father Niklaus Gerber and given to son from second marriage, Niklaus, during the division of his estate. Zähjs Holz confirms that Unter Hapbach was bought by a (half)brother of Giebel Glais (Niklaus). | Gerber, Michael (I0492)
|
| 789 | Very popular leader of the "new baptism movement" in Emmental called Froelichianer (or Neutäufer), which was established by Samuel Froelich. Christian's name is mentioned in Mennonite history regarding a large separation from the Mennonites. He was called "Christeli" to differentiate himself from his grandson. The baptismbook of Geiser mentions regarding the breaking away from the Mennonites that the most talented of all Neutäufer (in Langnau) was undoubtedly Christian Gerber. In 1821 he was called to a Mennonite lectureship. In 1832, he had his first contact with Samuel Fröhlich, and in 1834 the first meeting of the Neutäufer was held in Langnau. At times, meetings were held at Vorder Giebel in the Stöckli. In May 1835, he was excommunicated from the Mennonite worship, whereby the community of Neutäufer proclaimed their beginning as mentioned on a letter from Samuel Fröhlich currently at Giebel. He is noted as the armendirektor (a person who oversees benevolence to the poor in the village) in Langnau and owner at Giebel who died in 1894. There is a letter from Samuel Fröhlich at Giebel. You can find it as a media link on this website HERE. | Gerber, Christian (I0505)

|
| 794 | Was a widow in 1915 according to IA census. Mabel Schlotfeldt used to clean house for him, and uncle by marriage, and would bring John and Roy along.-16 May 2002 Email to Jim Schlotfeldt from Shirlee DeHaan after speaking with Marvin Scherff | Scherff, Henry D. (I2921)
|
| 795 | was widowed by 1849. Previously married to Jakob Kipfer at Bäregg. | Gerber, Magdalena (I0502)
|
| 796 | We know that Peter was the name of Barbara's father from Anna Barbara's (Peter's granddaughter) birth record. They lived at Baumgarten at the time of her birth. So, this Peter may have been from that house. | Gerber, Peter (I133)
|
| 797 | When arrived at Seward, IL, it was a record 10 degrees below. His sister-in-law, Gertrude (Peters) Iben and her husband, Richard, immigrated in 1893. Gertrude had made a return trip to Germany and may have persuaded John E. Haan to come to America with his children after his wife's death. | Haan, Jan Eisse (I0817)
|
| 798 | [schlotfeldt.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 6, Ed. 1, Tree #3710, Date of Import: Jan 30, 2001] A Johannes Kroeger, spoke at the funeral services for Ernestine Denker at Davenport, Iowa in 1908. He is listed in the German writing of the church paper as a "truen" (father?) He has no know direct relationship with Ernestine, but Ernestine's daughter Selma (German article lists as Zelina), married the grandson of Margaret Kroeger, wife of Henry F. Schlotfeldt. Margaret's Father's name is not known as of 1996, but it is doubtful that a Great-grandfather Kroeger who would have been born about 1820, would have been around in 1908 to give "deeply moving speeches at the family home and gravesite". But it's not impossible, that would put him in his 80s. From Fay Schlotfeldt: Chain: Hans Henry>Henry F.& wife Margaret "Anna" Kroeger. This is Margaret's sister. We have been lucky enough to find a picture of Hans Henry Schlotfeldt, born 1808 in Klein Flintbek, and his wife Catherin Margaret Stoltenberg. We also have pictures of many of their Grandchildren, but NONE of their children. In this case, the missing child photo would be of my Great Grandfather Henry F. Schlotfeldt (who came to the U.S. with Hans and Catherine) and his wife Margaret "Anna" Kroeger. We are still searching and hope that time hasn't escaped us with folks throwing away photos they couldn't identify. BUT...Thanks to SHIRLEY PATRICK who found us while chasing down the Kroeger family, we now have a picture of Margaret's sister, DORIS. (Shirley is descended from Doris and has been a Great! help in research of this branch.) Doris Kroeger, immigrated to Davenport, Iowa from Postfeld, Preetz,Germany with her family. Naturally, she is very good looking, as are all women who marry into the Schlotfeldt family, their daughters, mothers, sisters, cousins and friends! :-) This photo at least gives us an inside look at Margaret's family. Margaret's father died shortly after they arrived, her mother died in Germany 11 days after she was born. Her stepmother, Dora (nee Sievert)came to America with Hans and the family, She remarried and had additional children, so we have additional half-cousins from that side of the family. Their searching turned up this picture for us. If any of you have any leads for a picture of Henry F. & Margaret or the other kinder, please pursue them. Thanks so much, we keep hoping. (The quality of this picture suffered in cropping. If you e-mail us, We will send you an unedited .jpg copy of this photo | Kroeger, Margaretha Catharina Christiana (I0596)

| 799 | [schlotfeldt.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 6, Ed. 1, Tree #3710, Date of Import: Jan 30, 2001] A land deed in possession of Fay E. Schlotfeldt, Rio Verde Arizona in 1996, was given to him by his mother, Ernestine's daughter. It is dated 1899, and identifies three of Ernestine's aunts and uncles (siblings of her father identified here as Unk Sievert) by it's wording. e.g. "We. etc." "...deed this property to our niece, Ernestine Denker. dated 1899, Caldwell County, Missouri. This deed is signed by Fred E. Seafert, wife Margaret, Nettleton, Mo. Ernest Seafert, wife, Cornelia, Nettleton. (Note spelling variation). and Wilhelmine Meine of Nettleton, Mo. Fay also has a number of pictures of Ernestine with Hans, with the children, and one with a person we assume to be her mother, and another with a young woman we assume to be a sister. | Sievert, Ernestine Anna (I0539)

| 800 | [schlotfeldt.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 6, Ed. 1, Tree #3710, Date of Import: Jan 30, 2001] Church archives of the reformed township Wuesten (Lippe) about the family Rasche indicate that "Farmer Simon" and Farmer Christoph Pecher were witnesses to the Christening of Simon's brother Karl Wilhelm Christoph. Per my aunt Dayle Schlotfeldt Townsley, daughter of one of Simon's daughters, Alvina, (my grandmother) These church records were found in the Bible of August Rasche. August was Alvina's first cousin. "Uncle Ferd Rasche paid August's way to the U.S. and also paid for his brother and two sisters. One of the two I believe is still living in Florida" 1960s note Original records were written in German and Dayle's cousin, Hilda Bray had them translated.
