We have grandparents, named Margreth Hosli birth Aug. 9, 1691 in Glarus, she died Apr. 3, 1751, who married our grandfather David Tschudi on Oct. 9, 1711, he was born in Schwanden, Glarus, on May 5, 1689, lived in Bern for 68 years. They had 12 children from 1712 to 1732. Margreth Hosli (in German spelled with a line above the o) parents were Jost and Anna Muller (line above the u) Hosli. They must have moved back to Schwanden as the next generation of our grandparents were from Schwanden.
