Adrian,
I just found another baptismal/birth record I need some help with. This is for Rosina Susanna Müller who was born in Thun. I can make out that her father was Abraham, but not who his father was nor who his wife is. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thanks!

Adrian,
Not to add more here, but, I ran across Rosina's husband's birth/baptism registration and need some help. I know his father's name was Friedrich and his mother Catharina Grossenbacher. I can't seem to make out some of the other information here that I'm used to seeing. Thanks for the help!

Adrian,
Since I last posted, I figured out that the last record I attached listed F. Schneider as being from Stalden, which is in Münsingen. That led me even further to find his birth/baptismal registration. I can tell that his father is also from Stalden, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out any other names! Could you help?

Adrian,
Thanks as always for the work you put in to helping me. I did have one question: I know to almost never question your deciphers, but, is it possible that the Elsbeth Stuby could be Stucky? I've noticed a lot of records from other individuals that have a Christian Schneider with an Elisabeth Stucki and I wanted to get a second opinion before I re-write any details. Thanks again!

Hi Matt,
Looking at it again, yes, it could definitely be Stuki, comparing the k with that in 'Jakob' a few lines down. And the last letter is more likely an i than a y, as the y in other words curls the other way.

Hey,
While I was rummaging through some Swiss records looking for Catharina Großenbacher's baptismal record, I found the attached record. I'm still a little uncertain if it's a match for the person I'm looking for, but it was the only Catharina from Hasle bei Burgdorf that I could find. I was also a little skeptical because she would have been older than her husband when she married him in 1813. If you wouldn't mind transcribing this for me, I would appreciate it. Sorry, also, for the poor quality!

Adrian,
Thanks for the clarification. After looking a bit further, I think I may have found Hans and Katharina's marriage registration from 1774. However, I didn't find any children born to them until 1783. Can you help me by figuring out the locations listed in the registrations [i.e. is that Sumiswald where Katharina is from]? I've attached the marriage entry as well as another child's birth entry. Also, I know the quality of the last attachment I sent was poor, so do you think that Katharina's last name maybe Sommer? Hopefully, the birth entry I've attached will help. Thanks!
