• Notes

  Michael's parents lived at Baumgarten when he was born. At least some of Michael's children were born at Wannental. It appears that this farm eventually was transferred to his nephew, Michael, the son of his brother, Ulrich. Possibly, Peter did not live long enough to inherit this Wannental. According to "Geschichte_der_Bernischen_Täufer (page 127)" and "Swiss and German Pioneer Settlers of Southeastern Pennsylvania" (page 127) which is largely a translation of the aforementioned book, Michael Gerber of Wannental was deported for a time from Langnau. He was listed as the son of another Michael Gerber.
