Re: Alexandar Aebi from Walterswil, Switzerland

I am doing research in Canton Bern, Switzerland and have Aebi and Widmer as names in my genealogy. The LDS church has copied most of the parish records on film that can be rented and viewed at a Family History Center near you. Film 2005878 has births covering the years you would need for Alexander. Film 2005880 has marriage(1635-1875) and death records (1728-1875) for the parish of Walterswil. The films should also help you to find the parentage of Elisabeth. I checked the films that contain the notes of Julius Billeter who did great amount of research in this area on many surmnames from the area, and was unable to find your Alexander. It appears that he may not have done the Abei Family from Walterswil.
I have also done reasearch in Telemark and have found the bygdeboks from there to be very helpful in tracing ancestry. Most of them can be found in Madison, WI at the Naeseth Norwegian American Library as well as at the Chester Fitz Library on the campus of the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks. Many of the church books from Norway are on line from Norwegian web sites. They are also available for rental at your local Family History Library. Any help I can give you, please ask. I have been a non- member volunteer at the local FHC for 25 years and have helped people do their research in most areas of the world.

Alexandar Aebi from Walterswil, Switzerland

I am looking for information on Alexandar Aebi who married Elisabeth Widmer. I believe he was born on or around September 21, 1800 and died around November 18, 1886. Any help would be appreciated.

Aebi Ancestor

alangood_1 — 2008-05-06 20:31:33Z

The Aebi name, because of the Swiss/German tongue has been transliterated into at least Eby, Abby, Abbey, Alvey and other variants. I am looking for a Barbara Alvey (or spelling from above) born October 24, 1759, probably in Lancaster Co., PA or possibly Fredrick Co., MD (now Washington Co.) and died May 16, 1813. She married Christian Guth/Good abt 1777, most likely near Leitersburg, MD. Any help would be most appreciated.

Carol,
I thought I would let you know that I found Charles F Aebi in the 1910, 20, & 30 Census records.
In 1910 he was living with Magdalena Brunie and her family.
In 1900 it looks like he lived in Carroll County, Ohio.
1920 show him in Canton, Ohio with his wife Elizabeht and children Esther May and Charles.

Gerald,
I would love to hear from you and your connection to the Aebi clan.

My great uncle Edward married Margaret Pearl Aebi and my cousin Elizabeth Brunie also married an Aebi. Thus, I am connected from two sides of the family to the Aebi clan.

If you are the grandson of Shirley Abbey b.1889, then I am your cousin, granddaughter of Estella W. Abbey Bake.You used to live in GA. and now I do! Please contact me if this finds you!

Re: Any Aebi family members out there?

hamiltonjoe — 2005-08-28 18:45:26Z

Perhaps. I'm not familiar with the names you have mentioned though.
I have Aebi connections through marriages to my ancestors. I have infromation that Margaret Pearl Aebi married Edward Albert Schenk in 1913 in Canton, Ohio.
According to information that I have, her parents were Gottfried Aebi(1864-1921) and Mary Umport (1861-1930). It could be that Gottfried was a brother to Karl?
I know my grandmother (Rosa Brunie Schenk) immigrated from Bern. As well, my great grandmother came to the states on La Lorraine out of Le Havre.

Re: Carl Aebi (1891 - 1966) Obit

hamiltonjoe — 2005-08-28 18:45:26Z

Would you know if there is a connection with Carl with a Margaret Pearl Aebi (1895-7/19/1964) who was married to Edward Albert Schenk(1885-1964).

Edward would be my great uncle making Margaret my great aunt by marriage.

I know there are over 20 Aebi's buried directly across the road from my great grandmother and grandmother & grandfather in the Alliance City Cemetery.

Re: Louise Urig Aebi (1893 - 1992) Obit

hamiltonjoe — 2005-08-28 18:45:26Z

I am sure there is a connection with my family and this one.

My great uncle Edward Albert Schenk married a Margaret Pearl Aebi.

Also, I remember my father often talking about the Tanners.

I have the memorial book from my grandmother (Rosa Brunie Schenk 1864-1947) and it has the signature of Mary L. Tanner and an Elizabeth Aebi. Also, Elizatbeth attended the funeral of my uncle Herman Schenk in 1965. Herman was Rosa Brunie Schenks son.

I'm sure there is a connection that we may be able to track at some point.

Re: Louise Urig Aebi (1893 - 1992) Obit

hamiltonjoe — 2005-08-28 18:45:26Z

I was just looking further and noticed a signature in my grandmothers memorial book with the last name of Hartenstein. The person only signed their initials which look like it could be AE as the letters lead directly into the H for the last name.

Other names in the book are Gfeller, Krahling(at least 5), Bevington, Judge, Schenk, Fankhauser, Yenni, Brunie, Burky, Buehler, Renner, Lorius, Harlen, Ellis, Gabriel (3) among a host of others.

I know that the Aeby/Aebi line mainly came from Swizerland.
My Great great grandfather ( my grandfathers; grandfather )
came to the USA on 10/11/1866 aboard the Arayo from LeHavre His name was Karl Charles Theodore Aeby. The history I have goes back to 1566 in Swizerland. I only have the direct line no brothers or sisters.I have seen the old spellings Aby in Bern, Swizerland and figure that there are many different spelling. Maybe there is a connection

Aebi Family Surname

RTalkie — 2003-10-16 22:28:18Z

That is wonderful that you have your Aebi family traced back that far. I am at a brick wall because my dear Mother in Law cannot remember much at this point. All I really know for sure is that her Father's name was William Conrad Aebi and Grandfather was Charles Conrad Aebi and at least William was born in the Cincinnati area. He was a firefighter in the fledgling Cincinnati fire company as well as in the service. I cannot get a birth certificate as it does not exist. I am just hoping that someone has a family member in their tree who has Charles Conrad as a brother or cousin. Then at least I could get my bearings.

Re: Any Aebi family members out there?

2003-10-16 13:37:07Z

My family line on my mother's fathers side starts with Benicht Aebi on 18, Aug.1566 in Bǜtikofen, Bern, Switzerland. The Aebi and Aeby spellings are from the same familys. One spelling if they were Catholic and the other Protestant. The ancient spelling was " Äbỷ " My Great-Great Grandfather was Karl Theodor Aebi. He Immigrated 11, Oct 1866 to New York aboard ARAYO from Le Havre.

aebi and maney other spellings

Re: Any Aebi family members out there?

To Whom It May Concern:
My paternal great-grandparents (surname "Aebi") immigrated from Bern canton in the late 1800's. They changed their name to "Abbey" so that English-speaking people could pronounce and spell it... It sounded more American and helped their assimulation.

Any Aebi family members out there?

RTalkie — 2001-06-28 03:57:18Z

Aebi is my husband's Mother's maiden name. Her family is from Minnesota. Her Father's name was William Conrad Aebi and her Grandfather's name was Charles Conrad Aebi. Would like to go farther back on the family tree, but Mom doesn't remember a whole lot. Thanks.

Aebi Family

RTalkie — 2001-06-28 03:57:18Z

I still don't know a whole lot about William Conrad or Charles Conrad. William Conrad was a firefighter both in the service and here in Cincinnati, OH. They weren't the ones from MN, my husband's grandmother was. They met here in Cincinnati. So an Alliance, OH connection is possible. My Mother-in-Law just told me about some Aebi information she has somewhere in her attic. As soon as things settle down around here, I will pressure her to find it. Then I will get back to you.

Hi Rebecca,
My Aebi family was centered around Alliance, Ohio and from all the info I have, they came from Bern, Switzerland. My fathers name was Charles Ray Aebi, my grandfathers name was Charles Frank Aebi and my great grandfathers name was Godfried Aebi. I don't know of any of my Aebi's being in the Minnesota area, but you never know.

Regards,

Aebi could be a Swiss family name. If this is so, may be I could help you find out more about the ancestors of your mother. Just have a look on my website
