6 Julij [1606]

E(ltern): Hanns Sÿdler, C(at)hrina Kleinerin

K(ind): Hanns

Z(eugen): Hanns Buman der lang Schnÿder Fisi gnannt, Barbara Walderin

Buman will correspond to the modern spelling Baumann, a widespread name in canton Zürich. Hans' nickname (gnannt = genannt = named) der lang Schnÿder Fisi: Hans was likely a tailor (Schneider) and a tall person; in EDB I have found the marriage of a Hans Baumann gen Fisi, getting married 04.08.1605 in Ottenbach with Margaretha Sigrist … could be him.

Fisi in Idiotikon: Naseweiser Herr, der sich in die geringsten Weibergeschäfte mengt; wunderlicher, kleinlicher Mensch (Nosey gentleman who interferes in the slightest woman's business; whimsical, petty man).

Looking at Sidler of Ottenbach data I just came across a Hans Sidler (17. 05.1609) as son of Johannes & Catharina Kleiner. He married Adelheid Lichti and died 26.06.1682 - apart from the date of birth "competing" with your Hans (08.07.1606) - but with the age at death (76) a few years off.

Birth just (though tight) would fit in with siblings: could you check if such a baptismal entry (1609) exists?

OK - I have contacted also this submitter and asked about his source.

Only later - and in the meantime I came to the conclusion that we have a problem: see my mail.
