I was interested to read about the family book (Gfeller) you referred to, and was hoping to find out whether my gg grandmother is linked to your Gfeller family.

Anna Gfeller (1846 - 1920) was born in Canton Bern, Switzerland, married Karl Meyer (1843-1915) in Switzerland, had a couple children then immigrated to Holmes County, Ohio, then finally in Berne, Indiana. They are buried in MRE Cemetery outside of the town of Berne. I do not know her parents' names but am confident of her origin in Bern.

Please contact me about the book, and I would love to take a look at it and share any more information that might be helpful.

Hello Cathy,

The Gfeller family book traces the descendants of Peter Gfeller and Anna Moser. Peter and Anna settled in IL -> IA -> KS. I don't know of any connection to Anna Geller Meyer or OH and IN at this time. Do you have death certificates or obituaries for Anna or Karl? They might tell you more about their birth and parents.

Cordially,
Terrill Hayes

I am looking for information on Peter Gfeller and Rose Hanney/Haney.

In the 1920 census, they were living in Fragrant Hill, Dickinson, Kansas.

Rose was the daughter of John and Lydia Baumgartner Haney/Hanney. Rose was born in 1871 in Iowa.

Any connections??

Thanks,
Juls

I just started ancestry so don't have much information. My grandfather was Edwin Herman Gfeller and his father who was from Switzerland name was Gottfried Gfeller. I just found the registry when they came to the United States and I think Gottfried's father was Peter Gfeller. I would like to work with you to find out more information. I will help you all I can.

Hello June,

Do you have birth and death information for Gottfried Gfeller and Edwin Herman? Peter Gfeller and Anna Maria Moser Gfeller had a son John Gottfried Gfeller but I do not have a son Edwin Herman Gfeller for John Gottfried and Mina Buche Gfeller.
