I need help with the wife of Jacob Häffliger from Niedergrasswil, Seeberg. They were married 6. Nov 1744.

Her name was Barbara. Her surname I need help with. Is it Kenzi or Benzi? Then where was she from? There are also written something under the line with her name.

    It is "Henzi" (today Hänzi) from Meinis(ch)berg. Compare with "Häffliger" (today Häfliger).

    If unsure about a surname check https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/famn/?lg=e with potential spelling variations.

    To answer your second question: The line under Barbara Hänzi says "Kirchöri Pieterlen". It says that Meinisberg belongs to the parish of Pieterlen (canton of Bern). If the bride or the groom came from a different parish, this was usually indicated in this way.
