Aarwangen, Link FSFT copy of records to information previously pulled

 Aarwangen has become one of my favorite towns, mostly because I have so much time in the records there.  One of my best memories is that SOMEONE kept finding the records just days to months before me and I couldn't figure out who it was.  We were obviously doing the exact thing - going through the records and extracting our family names out for FamilySearch and our own work.

Finally I found a couple that was still in the process - they had been reserved, but only one or two ordinances had been done, and it was done in Manti.  I called the temple to ask if they could tell me who had submitted the names.  I don't remember if they hesitated but after hearing my story they suspect President Brugger.  It was indeed Archie Brugger and his wife Doreen.

Yesterday I started going through the films again, as AI has linked those records up to the records that it has indexed.  So far it is batting 100% with my names, and I find that they were mostly submitted by either Archie or I.  However, this morning I found three family names that were missed by both of us, that do indeed fit into our line.  

So here is my record keeping to keep me from relooking at the pages I have already done:

Aarwangen.

                                             Angels working overtime I guess.  I went in a different way and got the real Aarwangen records.

Müllheim, a must for any Gubler: 

Gubler Family Home:

Church: - East end of Kreuzlingerstrasse

Cemetery: near cemetery, off a block

Architecture - notice the wood designs on homes

Center of town:  

Horben, was one of my favorite stops.  Its a small village, and not much to see.  However, it reminded me of what Switzerland would have looked like when my ancestors were there.  Some of the foundations were showing in the homes, and I loved being able to see that.  I loved the small church.  I really loved everything about Horben.  Don't miss it.

 

Aarwangen, Schwarzhaesern, Bannwil, and Wynau were all new finds for me with lots of family ties.  Sadly, there isn't enough room for cemeteries to remain as I had hoped, and the ground is recycled about every 20 years, with the exception of a really prestigious person - so my folks had long since been removed.

Signau is a fun stop.  Aunt Vanola and Joyce worked hard on our line from this area.  Most of the work was already done when I joined the group of family historians.  But this location was a favorite for me as it is built on a steep slope.  I loved the three church bells out front of the church as well.
