I have just found out that my gggrandmother's name was Madelena Wegmuller. I know she married Christ Egger and they are from Bern, but have no idea what town or village. They had a son named Nicholaus Egger b.1844 in Bern. Nicholaus came to America abt. 1880, and settled in Stark Co. Canton OH. He married Elizabeth Siegenthaler in Canton in 1884. She too was from Bern. I am really trying hard to find a town or village in Bern where Nicholaus, and his parents Madelena Wegmuller and Christ Egger are from, so that I can find more of my family. I don''t think that Madelena and Christ came to this country, but I could be wrong. Would you by chance have any info on any of these people? Maybe if you had info on Madelena, that would help me with what town or village in Bern they came from. Thanks in advance for your response.
