Heinrich was born 1647(!) - don't know what "q" means, knows the minor catechism.
Who are the non family members living with the Huber family:
Wolf: The header said servants and Verdingkinder. I would say they were too old for Verdingkinder - so likely servants. Might be an indication the Hubers ran a small farm.
Ruodeli (o over u) Landis was 20 years old and has had communion - can't interpret his origin.
Cathrina Süss (or Stüssi) was 27 years old and has had communion, She came from Eügsten - I assume Aeugst am Albis.
Note: Maria Huber originated "aus dem Boden" … there is a Hamlet Boden just South of Hirzel........

Verdingkinder, Verdingsbuben, "contract children",[1] or "indentured child laborers"[2] were children in Switzerland who were removed from their families by the authorities (due to poverty, moral reasons (e.g. the mother being unmarried, very poor, of Yenish origin, etc.), neglect, etc.), and placed in foster families, often poor farmers who needed cheap labour. In the early 2000s, many of these children, by then adults, publicly stated that they had been severely mistreated by their foster families, suffering neglect, beatings and other physical and psychological abuse. The Verdingkinderscheme was common in Switzerland until the 1960s Wikipedia
1668 marriage Hans Lndis and Maria Huber 8 December Hirzel records page 142 |
Kent:
Marriage: 8 December 1668 Hans Landis, Wagner, from Hirzel and Maria Huberin, from Boden
Wolf:
(1694) den 29. 10br (= December)
Maria Huberin, Hanß Landiß Hausfrau von Kemten
Note that Huberin is the female form of Huber.
Kent: I have seen many documents with Landiß. Is that the same as Landis? Doesn't the final letter mean "ss" or eszett?(1694) den 29. 10br (= December)
Maria Huberin, Hanß Landiß Hausfrau von Kemten
Note that Huberin is the female form of Huber.
Wolf: There were "trends" in spellings - you also often see Hanß instead of Hans … doesn't really make any difference.
