Alexander Urmi 1618 – 1676


Knonau Kirche
Alexander Urmi was christened on 9 December 1618, in Knonau, Zürich, Switzerland as the son of Ulrich Urmi and Margreth Walder. (see her baptism below) According to the marriage entry from 1643, Alexander Urmi is “Ueli Urmi's own westerly constable's son in the Baregg”. Alexander father was a constable and so was Alexander. (see his death record)
Alexander is Vronegg Urmi's  half brother.

Profession and death:
Alexander handled the farm book and was an  Ehegaumer. (morals checker) He was also a Constable in the Baregg died the 14th October 1676 (see death record at the end of this post)

Marriage:
Alexander married Anna Lüssi on 30 August 1643, in Knonau, Zürich, Switzerland. They were the parents of at least 9 sons and 7 daughters. Alexander and Anna lived in Baareg a small community near Knonau. Alexander's father Ueli Urmis was a Wachtmeisters (local policeman or I am not sure what all his duties were … some in "home office" ? 🤔 It did not have been a fully paid job - to earn his living he must have done something else. "Wachtmeister" was just an official position and as such mentioned in records.) most probably in Knnoau. See map below. Alexander's death date is unknown. The last time Anna is mentioned in the 1678 Bevölkerungsverzeichnis so she died thereafter.

The 1750 BV is the one answers all questions - Verena's father is the one baptised 26.12.1687 as son of Arbogast: https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=128378#p128378. I'll write up the post on Hans Jakob.

Children according to Knonau population registers 1649 and 1670 (supplemented with exact baptism dates from familysearch and details in the Zurich marriage database): 

How is Alexander related to the Sidlers?
When Jakob Sidler 1608 -1693 (Wagner and Magister) and
Vronegg Urmi had their last child named Anna in 1644. 
 Anna Sidler's Godmother was Anna Lüssi who is the wife of Alexander. Alexander is also Vronegg's half brother.

Kent: Vronegg and Alexander are from village of Baaragg, the parish is Knonau and that is where their birth records are located.
Wolf: Baregg was a hamlet with just a few houses - no-one was baptized there. Children born in Baregg were baptised in Knonau. Vronegg was baptised in Knonau. We have several connections between families in Ottenbach and Knonau (Baregg) - so it would not be a surprise if Anna Lüssi and Anna Sidler (via Vronegg)  were somehow related. A possible connection would be on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=34111#p128289 leading to the comment bottom of https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=34111#p128296 ... possibly Anna Lüssi's husband is just not mentioned in 1644?

They are old and simple people who moved here from the Baregg, where their house has gone to ruin, and therefore there is no complaint from them. (Source: Maschwanden family register 1721/22).

According to the marriage entry of 1643, Alexander Urmi is “Ueli Urmi's own westerly constable's son in the Baregg”. [A marriage entry for Uli Urmi with Margreth Zürcher is not found - they may have married between 1584 and 1601 (gap in the Knonau marriage register). The wife's name is only known from the two child baptisms. Uli Urmi was a widower when he married in 1608.
Children:
1. 02.11.1617 Anna (not mentioned in the population register of 1634 - therefore probably deceased before)

No further children are mentioned in the population register of 1634.


Wolf: According to the marriage entry of 1643, Alexander Urmi is “Ueli Urmi's own westerly constable's son in the Baregg”.
[The only definite reference to the marriage is the description of Ulrich Urmi as a widower when he married in 1608.
On 10.11.1605 Vronegg Urmi, daughter of Ulrich(?) Urmi and Margreth Zürcher, “uß der Baregk” is baptized in Knonau: Margreth Zürcher could be this first wife and Vronegg a child from the first marriage.

4 lines Urmi from Knonau ZH
Based solely on the church records of Knonau, no common progenitor of all known Urmi of Knonau can be determined. Rather, there are 4 bearers of the name in the early church records to whom no parents can be assigned. Their descendants are summarized below as lines A ... D. In addition to the markings shown below, there are numbers {nnn} in curved brackets: these Kekule numbers refer to Johann Robert Urmi (20.10.1891-27.08.1982) as the proband.

Laut Heiratseintrag von 1643 ist Alexander Urmi "Ueli Urmis sel. gewäsnen Wachtmeisters in der Baregg ehelich hinderlaßner Sohn".
[§] Ein Heiratseintrag Uli Urmi mit Margreth Zürcher findet sich nicht - vmtl. haben sie zwischen 1584 und 1601 (Lücke im Ehebuch Knonau) geheiratet. Der Name der Ehefrau ist nur aus den beiden Kindstaufen bekannt. Bei der Heirat 1608 war Uli Urmi Witwer.
Die Kekule-Nummer (512) bezieht sich auf Johann Robert Urmi (20.10.1891-27.08.1982) als Probanden.

I have summarized this plus the data from 1670 in a table on Geneal-Forum.
Ehegaumer is an ecclesiastical judge of morals, watching for bigamy, illegitimacy and heresy.
An Ehegaumer is a Sittenrichter/Eherichter; I found an explanation for the term in an article about moral courts in the "Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz" (https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/de/articles/007476/). Searching the page for Ehegaumer (CTRL+F brings up a search, or Command+F if on a Mac) brings you to a paragraph about marriage courts Another online site explained that an Ehegaumer is a person who has to watch about religion, morals, and order. In other words, it's a marriage judge, or a judge of people's morals in general. The Geneal-Forum contains helpful explanations too, including the following translated sentences: "The [Ehegaumer] had to watch over the morals of the church members, in particular over married and family life, the observance of Sundays and church attendance. People whose way of life left something to be desired could be summoned to standstill, admonished and - if that didn't work - reported to the bailiff. The number of Ehegaumer depended on the size of the parish and the more important settlements it contained. The Ehegaumer were elected for three-year terms, while the clergymen served until their resignation or death."

Note: So this is not Alexander's death entry, but his son's: Hans Jakob died at the age of 21 - i.e. born about 1655.

"I rather read:

Wolf: That's more or less what I had read - but I wanted to get a “second opinion” because I couldn't imagine what “arbet selligen” meant. Now (so “too late”) I looked it up in the Idiotikon:
1. full of work, toil, external hardship and pain of soul (in subj. and obj. sens.), poor, miserable, afflicted, unhappy
2. miserable in the moral and theological sense, corrupt, depraved, deluded
3. frail, crippled, sick, therefore unfit for work; also in a mental sense, unfit for work
