I remember that Langnau was given as one of the places where the name has been mentioned since mid-16th century. The Year-Book is included in the SGFF membership fee (see http://sgff.genealogy.net/ for more detail on the society) but can also be bought by non-members from the Document Sales Office (link from above page).
