Hello all, I have been poring over some records and there are certain things I just can't figure out. I am looking at church records of births in the town of Arch, canton Bern. My ancestors were from nearby Leuzigen. I have found the birth records of my grandmother and her siblings, plus hundreds of other AFFOLTERs from Leuzigen. If I can figure out some of the terms, which are repeated throughout the records, I will be able to start figuring out how the other AFFOLTERs are related to mine - and associated families. I already know the names, where the parents names are located and their marriage date, and the names of witnesses/godparents...but there are several terms in the records that I can't identify. I can scan the five birth records of her family in any format you specify. Thank you in advance, Amy Gray ----- Original Message ----- From: alan rossing Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SWITZ] French handwriten Civil record Hello Listers, Can someone translate a French handwritten entry in the Civil record from Bienne (Biel), Canton Bern? It is about 3 lines long. I can scan it and send it as a JPEG or BMP file.
