Katharina Nifeler, born 24 Mar 1776. Reference: 2005761-4_Allyson's #36. This Katharina must die young since just one year later they name another child the same name.

Samuel Nifeler and Anna Barbara Hermann family


Anna Nifeler, christened 12 Jul 1770 in Huttwil, Bern, Switzerland.

Reference: Huttwil 2005761-3, 1770-1772 (years), (Page) 7 in Allyson's files.

Another choice for Verena

Different Verena Nifeler



I question that Verena Niffeler married a Hans Ulrich Zur Linden that was 20 years older than herself. Double check that.

The Verena I have is only 19 years older than her childen which makes me feel good, but this Verena is another in the Huttwil records.
