Any information on Brunner family, Switzerland before 1900?
We are researching the Brunner family before 1900. Joseph Brunner (born Werentzhausen 6 Jan 1854, died Basel 9 June 1920), married to Emilie Rottner (born 24 March 1857, not sure where, and died Luzern 21 July 1933). We are reasonably sure they lived in the Alsace, France, and some of their children moved to Basel at the end of 19th C / beginning of 20th C – we have details of these.
Someone researched their ancestry and got as far as Strassbourg archives, because the building where registers etc were kept was bombed during the first or second World War.
How can we find more information about them before 1900?
We have a suspicion that perhaps one of our ancestors was a Dominique Brunner, who came from Entlebuch (now kanton Luzern) and settled in Fessenheim (Alsace) and married Anne Stalterin on 8 July 1701.
We have no indication what happened between 1701 and late 19th C.
Have you tried doing a search on the Mormons site,its excellent and free to use as well.

Hope this helps.

Deep Ancestry (Paperback) $21.97 The fossil record locates human origins in Africa, but little is known about the great journey that took Homo sapiens to the far reaches of the Earth. How did we, each of us, end up where we are? Why do we appear in such a wide array of different colors and features? Such questions are even more amazing in light of genetic evidence that we are all related–descended from a com- mon African ancestor who lived only 60,000 years ago. Thanks to new genetic testing methods, we now know that the greatest history book ever written is the one hidden in our DNA.In Deep Ancestry, geneticist and explorer Spencer Wells unravels the slight changes in our DNA over time to tell the ancient story of our shared human journey. He also details the current work of Genographic Project–the landmark study that will assemble the world`s largest collection of DNA samples to map how humankind populated the planet. He describes how the Project uses sophisticated computer analysis of DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people–including indigenous populations and the general public–to reveal man`s migratory history and to better understand the connections and differences that make up the human race. The narrative works backward, starting from today and gradually working its way to humankind`s common ancestors. From the beginning, the book taps into a reader`s interest in genealogy, family history, and ethnic identity. Most of us have a decent sense of our family history, but eventually we all hit a brick wall. DNA takes us beyond it, and this is the unifying theme that will lead us from the stories of the present into the realm of deep ancestry. Now in a thoroughly revised second edition, Deep Ancestry represents the very latest research on where we came from and relates it to our own personal quest to discover the deep ancestry behind our family genealogies and touch the depths of our common origins.For more information about the Genogr |
