Restricted Film Lookup Request: Bubendorf, Basel-Landschaft Parish Registers (Taufen 1795–1815)

Hello everyone,

I am seeking a digital lookup for a restricted film that requires access from a FamilySearch Center or Affiliate Library. I live in regional South Australia, quite a distance from a physical center, and would be grateful for any assistance. The problem is locating the parents and baptism of my brick-wall ancestor, Charles William FURLER (believed to have been born circa 1803–1809). A recent Swiss Surnames database check confirmed that the ancient "Heimatort" (place of origin) for the Furler surname is deeply concentrated in the community of Bubendorf, Canton Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland. He later surfaced as a young adult carpenter marrying in Westminster, London, in 1826.

Film Details Needed:

  • Location/Parish: Switzerland, Basel-Landschaft, Bubendorf
  • Church: Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Bubendorf
  • Collection Title: Kirchenbuch, 1529-1920
  • Target Volume/Section: Taufen, Heiraten 1795–1851 (The digital roll contains 580 images total).

What I am looking for: screenshots or image downloads of the Taufen (Baptisms) pages covering the years 1800 to 1810 (this should sit roughly around Image 100 to Image 150 of the 580-image file). I would scan the child name columns for a Karl, Carl, or Kaspar Furler. If the father's occupation is listed, I am looking for a match with Zimmermann (Carpenter) or Wagner (Wheelwright).

If you are able to check these pages or copy images of any Furler baptisms in this decade, it may open a new chapter in my family history.

    Good morning @Alexander9469

    Unfortunately, the guidelines of this Community do not allow us to provide images from limited-access films.

    We can provide a transcript if the image is available and legible.

    I'm at my Affiliate Library today. Missing from your request is the DGS 8191743.

    Baptisms for 1800 begin on Image 79 of Item 2, and those for 1810 end on Image 106.

    The given name of the baptized child is isolated in a center column, in larger letters, making it somewhat easier to skim looking for a particular given name. The father's surname is in the first column, written in a smaller, less-legible script.

    On a first pass through 79-106, I do not see a single Carl, Karl, or Kaspar.
