    2. Good Afternoon list members! I'm new to the list, And I am researching the BAUMBERGER family from Bern, Koppigen, Switzerland. Including parents & siblings of Rudolph Baumberger, b. 23 August 1877. Rudolph was the son of Jacob Baumberger & Susanna Katharina Rupp DOB's unknown. Through the LDS Research Center I have listing of siblings, Johnannes b. 1856, Magdelena b. 1857, Elise b. 1859, Elise b. 1862, Johannes b. 1865, Jakob b. 1867, Gottfried b. 1871 & Robert b. 1873. We believe there were more children but can't find evidence at this time. Rudolph Baumberger married Frieda Grimm of Zurich, Hinwil, Switzerland 10 November 1913, this was Rudolph's third marriage. We believe the first wife to have been named Elise ?? the second Adelia Litzkog? It was said she died during childbirth possibly around April 1908. Rudolph & and his Bride Frieda b. 1 October 1874 the daughter of Rudolf Grimm & Angelika Zimmerli (?) (Frieda had a brother named Emil Grimm) they married in Koppigen KA Bern in "Niedergerhafingen" (unsure what that means) this was stamped in the family Bible. The newly married Baumberger's with Walter the son from his second wife immigrated to the United States arriving in February 1914. They settled in the Parral, Tuscarawas County, Ohio Area where they raised 2 sons & 2 daughters. Emma, Charles, William & Frieda Rose, Walter was tragically killed 3 November 1914 after being struck by an automobile. This has been a very difficult family to research as there is little oral family history to go on. If any of these names sound familiar, I would appreciate any information. I have a bit of Baumberger/Grimm family since 1914 I will share. Thanks in advance!! ~ Cheri (Indiana, USA) cbaumberge@aol.com Researching: BAUMBERGER, BYRD, DEZARN, FAVORS, GRIMM, LEE, NEEL, ORR, PUCKETT, ROARK, ROBERTS, SINNETT, SKAGGS, SMITHHART, STEARMAN, SUBLETT, TURNER, TURNHAM, WHALEN, WOODARD, WOOTEN, YOUNG.
