Ottenbach ZH - death - 1684 - Frey - Veronica
Side notes: I added the baptismal records for Veronica's three children on Rudolf's web page. They don't need translation. Easy to read.
I posted Bevölkerungsverzeichnisses for 1646, 1670 and 1678 to the web page. The one for 1678 has lots of dates and family relationships. In the 1678 Bevölkerungsverzeichnisse I assume everyone in a single box are family (like a family group sheet) , not that they necessarily live together.
Pastor Hans Kaspar Huber did an excellent job in 1678! When Hans Caspar Huber was born on 2 October 1627, in Affoltern am Albis, Zürich, Switzerland, his father, Hans Ulrich Huber, was 29 and his mother, Anna Burri, was 25. He married Anna Maria Engelfried on 7 March 1654. They were the parents of at least 2 sons and 4 daughters. Kaspar served as the Pastor in Ottenbach from 1677 until his death. He suffered a stroke and died at 69, and was buried in Ottenbach, Zürich, Switzerland. FS ID: MJ3V-D68

Vroneck Freÿin, Rudi Seidlers S(elig) v(on) Otenbach hinderlassne eheliche Witfrauw. 69-jährig.
Re Bevölkerungsverzeichnis 1678: structure depended to some extent on the pastor writing it up - and also changed with time. The older records from e.g. Uster (where I had done some research many years ago) were organised per household: this does not necessarily mean that this holds for other parishes at different times as well.
Let's look at XXXIII from 1678: We have Rudi Seidlers widow - quite likely that she lived together with her eldest son and his family. And we have the two younger sons - both married but without children - again quite likely that they lived in the same house. I am not familiar with the situation in Ottenbach, but e.g. in Thurgau I had many situations where one "house" consisted of several "flats". So I consider it quite likely that all these people lived together - but cannot be sure.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to answer my random questions. Your thoughts make a lot of sense. Rudolf's family was lots of fun and very interesting. All the best!😄

I just had a look at Bevölkerungsverzeichnisse 1670: there (in the titel page) it explicitely states Haushaltungen = households,
