+      8              vii.    David Zenger, born abt. 28 Jun 1696 in Courtelary, Bern, Switzerland.

 

In the report that follows, I have not yet finished tracking down all of the descendant lines, so this is still a very rough outline.

 

I am hypothesizing at present that Niclaus became associated with the Anabaptist movement, not well tolerated by the local Calvinist orthodoxy, and so felt compelled to travel to the more northern French-speaking part of the Swiss confederation. Later descendants would return to live in the area around his native Erlenbach.

The text is almost entirely in Latin, and poorly handwritten. Based on the names of the witnesses, this appears to be the baptismal record of the earlier born Nicolas, as the date seems to clearly be 1685. A death of a Nicolas is also apparently recorded here, but the date is not completely legible.
