GENEALOGY OF AMERICAN WELTYS FROM LAUPERSWIL, CANTON BERN, SWITZERLAND
ANCESTORS and DESCENDANTS of NIKLAUS WÄLTI -
born 1764
The
following genealogy is the result of research by Peter Wälti
, a genealogist living near Bern, Switzerland. References to original
church and municipal records are given in the
links. A discussion of the evidence leading to the
conclusion that the Baumgartner book is wrong about the parents
and siblings of Niklaus can be found here. The earliest ancestor of Niklaus who has been identified with
reasonable certainty is Peter Wälti b.1679. It is also known from the
church records that the parents of Peter
b.1679
are yet another Peter Wälti and Magdalena Leuenberger
[Schönholzer]. Possibilities for the identity of the earlier Peter, and for the common
ancestor with the Peter b.~1695 who emigrated to America in 1727, can be found here:
