Steffisburg, Switzerland
Extracted from BIRTH REGISTER and Marriage
records of Steffisburg
The family groups shown in this section have been compiled using the records of
Steffisburg, Switzerland which were copies by Karl Joder and Otmar Jotter. The
originals have each birth listed individually, name the parents and also add the child's "namen der zaugen" (sponsors). The marriage records are also in a separate section. In some cases notes or remarks are included with the record which may be significant. We have copied these whenever appropriate. No guesses have been made regarding the relationship of one generation to another. Some will appear likely to the reader.
