Heather, if you will visit http://www.hostetler.net/schwarz.htm you will find excellent information about the Hostettler name as well as photos of the Scwarzenburg region of Canton Bern, Switzerland. You may also want to visit The Origin of the name Hostetler at http://www.hostetler.net/origins/host_nam.htm

My sweet mother-in-law is a descendant of Marie Hostettler, dau. of Christian H. Hostettler and Anna Zbinden. The research she shared with me shows Christian's father to be Johannes A. Hostettler and mother to be Elizabeth (unknown), and Johannes A's father to be Christian H and his mother to be Elizabeth Burri.

I hope the websites are helpful to you.
