Caspar Schneebeli 1679-1743

When was Caspar born? According to FamilySearch he was born 7 February 1686. Armed with that information I searched for him in the 1733 census.  A Casper Schneebeli born 1686 was found. But was he our relative?

On my fourth time through the Census I found Caspar Schneebeli born 9 October 1679 and Margaretha Stierli born 1684. Bingo. They had a child named Anna Schneebeli born 17 March 1720. That made complete sense. I have discarded the 1686 birth date in favor of the information provided in the 1733 Census. The couple married 12 January 1706 in Ottenbach. Pastor Johann Heinrich Zwingli performed the marriage in the Ottenbach Kirche. Casper lived 68 years 3 months 14 days. The name Schneebeli is found in the  in Affoltern am Albis (not Affoltern proper) Zürich, Switzerland.
