Notes for Christian Fankhauser:
Christen and Barbara were Anabaptists (Mennonite). Christen was among a group of men who
were imprisioned on 12 Jan 1709 and released from a Berne prison on 18 March 1710. This group was exiled from Switzerland with some going to Germany and Holland. After the death of Barbara, her property, which was confiscated on 23 November 1691, was compensated by government order and given to her son Peter Fankhouser.

Notes for Barbara Habegger:
HABEGGER: Feeding into the Emme is a stream named Ilfis. It is on the hills and valleys that feed into this stream that the Habeggers lived. One kilometer from the village of Barau is a farm complex on a hill named Habegg. It is from this farm that we received our family name. In Switzerland each farm or farm complex has a name. The family or families living on that farm are known by the name of the farm. In the middle ages common people did not have family names. When distinctions needed to be made between persons, family names were added. The name of the farm they were living on frequently became the source of that name. Even today when a farmer goes to town he will frequently be called by the name of the farm rather than by his family name.

The name Habegg is a shortened form of Habichtegg which Hawk Ridge. The Habegg farm is on a hill rising from the valleys to the west and south. It is the shoulder of a higher hill named Riegenen. Hawks can be seen soring on the air currents coming from the valley to the west. The hawk is able to remain motionless by balancing on the upward moving breeze. It was probably from such a common sight that the hill was given its name. It is a place where hawks have been coming for centuries to hunt for rodents.
