SWISS GENEALOGY ON THE INTERNET : Bürgerbuch St.Gallen (Index)Dear Wolf! Dear Wolf, a patron (Gretchen Martin) of our FHC here in littl'old Fort Bragg wants to research the familytree of her son-in-law, Anton HILBER of Flawil, SG (m. to her American daughter, Adriane Martin). The father's name is Martin HILBER. Where would she start? I'm not posting these 2 Swiss names, since they are both living. On your St. Gallen Bürgernamenbuch we only find "Hidber, Hiebner, Hiller, Heller". Any advice? Thanks, Wolf.

I sent it to my son-in-law, Anton Hilber, son of Martin Hilber. The place of origin is Flawil, SG.

Dear Hanna and Gretchen, the "Buergerbuch" lists only citizens of the *city* of St.Gallen (the capital) - Flawil is a community in the *canton* (=state) of St.Gallen, so "your" Hilber will not be mentioned. From "Familiennamenbuch" I can confirm that Hilber gained citizenship of Flawil during the 19th century. Unfortunately there is no "contact" for Flawil listed on http://swiss.genealogy.net/conregsg.htm nor any contact on http://foko.genealogy.net (though other Hilber lines are mentioned). As you are looking for fairly recent data (after 1876) I would recommend to contact Zivilstandsamt http://adress.easytool.ch/oc/flawil/adressen.asp?r1=195 and enquire whether they find the person you're looking for on their register - and under which circumstances they are going to give you any info (officially they would have to request a cantonal permission, which is granted only after proving that the requestor is a direct descendant). I hope this gets you started, and send my best regards - Wolf > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: guy grenny [mailto:[email protected]] > Gesendet: Montag, 5.
