SWITZ.DOC - This record displays the Joder family lineage developed and used by the late Karl Joder from his research in Europe. It appeared in YNL #2


Joders in Canton Lucerne- In the late German Yoder researcher Karl Joder’s “Chronik he writes "There is no doubt that the Joders living in the Huttwyl-Altbüron- Altishofen-Dagmersellen and in Muri near Bern and the Joders in the Steffisburg-Amseligen-Thun area and Sigriswil are a single clan from the earliest Middle Ages. ” (see http://www.yodernewsletter.org/nonamish/chronik.html ). The spreadsheet attached was downloaded from the Family Search web site. Due to many transcription issues with the old German, we have found that this extract should not be considered complete. The hot links shown for each record takes you into the appropriate page of original Swizz records.
