Kohler von Wynigen BE

[ymro2013]

In 1711 4 ships left Switzerland with people who weren't wanted anymore because of their Mennonite beliefs.
On one of these ships, the Emmentaler ship, was a Hans Kohler from Wimmigen with his wife and 4 children.

It turns out he was from Wynigen (Emmental) and his surname was Kolar.

Hans Kolar's wife was called Anna Matthijs. They married 1-12-1699 in Wynigen (Kb 5, page 339).

At every entry Hans is called 'der jüngere' (the younger). They lived in Thaal.

Hans and Anna had 5 children before they left Switzerland, of which 1 died:
1- Jost (3-12-1700)
2- Tobias (27-8-1702)
3- Barbara (1-5-1704)
4- Verena (7-2-1706)
5- Elsbeth (29-6-1708)
All were baptized in Wynigen. (book 5)

On 5-12-1708 Hans Kolar der jüngere burried a child in Wynigen. (book 21)

The family arrived in Amsterdam in August 1711.
It says in Ernst Müller's book that the children were age 10 to 3 years old. Jost would have been 10 in August 1711, so it wasn't him who died. Elsbeth was 3 in August 1711, so it wasn't her either.

Bei der Heirat am 1.12.1699 in Wynigen lese ich den FN "Koler" es geht hier also um die Familie Kohler von Wynigen.
Die Ehefrau hiess Anna Mathys, auch von Wynigen.

Beim Sterbeeintrag am 5.12.1708 (Rodel 21, Seite 80) steht leider nur "des jüngeren Hans Kolers des Maurers im Thaal Kind."
