  Notes	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. [4]

• Notes

  Changed their crest to show a black and white animal named Steinbock (rock goat). The famous Gerber cheese comes from this line.-Marianne Gerber 28 October 2001 email Purchased Oberer Habbach (Hapbach) after 1801. The descendants were no longer part of the Mennonite church, but became members of the State Reformed Church. According to Peter Gerber: He was christened “Niklaus”. That name is usually abreviated to “Klaus” and in the language of the people Klaus transforms to “Glais” (as "Robert" to "Dick" in English). "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. [5]
