    (1792) Oct. 7. copuliert bei St.Peter

    Rudolf Jenta von Etenhausen, N. 19. Maj 1771

    Elisabeth Freÿ von Birr, Berngebiets [region of Bern]

    Note that according tot he marriage register Zürich St.Peter, entry 284, the marriage took place Oct. 8 (not 7) … don't seriously ask me for an explanation 😉. When you look at the dates in Oct. 1792: 1 / 8 / 15 / 22 / 29 … all were Mondays, whilst in Wetzikon marriages took place on different days of the week … possibly they just assumed Sunday for St.Peter??

    Regarding Birr: Birr today belongs to canton Aargau. The region of todays canton Aargau (founded in 1803) was ruled by different governing bodies prior to 1798 - e.g. Birr used then to belong to Bern.

    On https://ghgo.ch/ghgo-daten/DGT2016.pdf (you have to copy and past the URL - familysearch doesn't link to a pdf) you find a lecture of mine on basics for genealogy in Switzerland - in German and (being held in 2016) a bit outdated as far as resources available online are concerned. However, the "basic" information has not changed a lot - and on transparency 31 there is a historic map of the region of todays canton Aargau, prior to 1798.

    WSeelentag Excellent. And thanks as always for the research. About five years ago I contacted the Birr archives. I asked them to look up Lisabeth Freÿ's birth record. Amazing as it may seem they did and sent me a copy via email.

    I loved seeing the Zürich marriage register. Is there a book with marriages before 1778? You may remember we had a hard time finding Kaspar Jenta's marriage dated 13 June 1769 in the FamilySearch films. Just a thought. You are awesome!!!

    There is not A book with marriages - Zürich is a large city and has several parishes. I believe I have mentioned https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/prd/de/index/stadtarchiv/bestaende/pfarrbuecher.html before 😉. Grossmünster records begin 1525. We already had a few marriages in St.Peter - where marriage registers begin 1554 - including Caspar Jenta's marriage on https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/epaper/PRD/SAR/Pfarrbuecher/VIII-C-24-a_output/web/html5/index.html?pn=295.

    WSeelentag Thanks Wolf!! I spent a long time looking for Caspar Jenta's marriage in the link listed above. No luck. So I went back to FamilySearch films. Low and behold I found his marriage entry. I will ask you to have a look after my current post.

    "I spent a long time looking for Caspar Jenta's marriage in the link listed above."

    I picked the wrong marriage for Rudolf (present topic) - should have been https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/epaper/PRD/SAR/Pfarrbuecher/VIII-C-25_output/web/html5/index.html?pn=279.

    But you had mentioned Caspar 1769 - and this is on https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/epaper/PRD/SAR/Pfarrbuecher/VIII-C-24-a_output/web/html5/index.html?pn=295 (left side bottom, last but one).

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag The pn-295 threw me off. The actual page number is 282. I have a difficult time reading the dates in the Zürich records referenced above. But now I'm with you. It is nice to see multiple sources for marriage records, or for any records as far as that goes.

    I am adding all work we do to FamilySearch and my website. I don't want to miss a single word.

    You are like an encyclopedia for Swiss research. I'm totally impressed with your knowledge. Thank you!!!!

    Well - 295 is the "image number" in the file - same with familysearch: top left you get an image number shown for the image on this film - has nothing to do with the page number of the actual book.

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag Got it. When the image number and the page number are similar it can be confusing.

    One important difference between this site (also applies to e.g. Appenzell Ausserrhoden or Basel-Landschaft) and familysearch is: there is only a single book in any database entry (or film). So fairly frequently there will be a few introductory pages, followed by the document itself. Consequently, unless two pages are on a single image, the image numbers will just be a few numbers higher than the actual page numbers.
