Outline These early documents breathe life into the names of the following Landis descendants.9 I have organized this material into five outlines of five progenitors who may be siblings or may be related in other ways: Caspar, Hans, Melchior, Balthasar, Peter. Some familial relationship is suggested by the fact that they were godparents at the christenings of their children and that Caspar, Balthasar, and Melchior are the traditional names of the "three wise men" associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. Early Zurich records indicate a Hansen Landos of Uerikon in 1372 and a Rudi Landos also there in 1415, but I do not know of any links with this outline. The first appearance of the name Landis in Horgen records was in 1485. 10 The question mark within bracketed material refers to a question concerning the placement of that material at that location in the outline and is not a question concerning the validity of the material within brackets. LR Caspar Landis, b. ca. 1520 m. Barbara Schnorf, b. ca. 1526 8 E I 7.4 (Wiedertaufer, 1610-1615), Archives of Canton Zurich, contains reports on Margaretha Hochstrasser, spouse of LS1, and refer to following dates: Feb. 23, 1615; May 22, 1615; May 24, 1615. Translation by Trudy Schenk of Salt Lake City, Utah. 9 This outline contains data drawn primarily from the Horgen, Hirzel, and Wadenswil parish registers and census records up to the mid-1600s as found in the following microfilms held by the L.D.S. Family History Center in Salt Lake City, Utah: 1633, #1185140; 1634, #1185139; 163~ #1185141; 164~ #118514~ 1643, #1185145; 164~ #1185149; 1649, #1185149; 1654, #1185151; 1670, #1185153; Hirzel, #996924; Horgen, #99632; Wadenswill, #995912; Egg, #996835. Other sources included parish registers from Eichtersheim, Germany (#118923, 24, 38); Berwangen, Germany (#1189142); Weiler, Germany (#118097, items 5-10); Steinsfurt, Germany (#1189152, item 8); Durrenentzen, France (#715515); and Neckarburken, Germany (#1189215). The Hirzel records were contained in the Horgen parish registers until 1617 when Hirzel became its own parish. Information on Landis persons reaches back to 1546 when Horgen began recording births. I have tried to verify the earlier part of the Hirzel chart (Landis Reunion Report, no. 31, Aug. 19, 1950, pp. 25-27) and also Jane Evans Best's articles which have appeared in Mennonite Family History and Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage. Where I have been able to detect errors I have made corrections, but welcome further clarifications or corrections to my interpretation of these difficult early records. Apparently, the minister sometimes would use different names for Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage 14 LRl Barbara Landis, bap. Dec. 20, 1546, Horgen LR2 Verena Landis, bap.

For example, Hans Landis' wife Elsbeth Ertzinger is listed as Elsbeth Streler for the births of Elsbeth (Mar. 5, 1620) and Barbara (Apr. 17, 1632); yet in the census both daughters are placed in family of Hans Landis and Elsbeth Ertzinger. Rudolph Landis' wife Christine Mettler was the daughter of Hans Mettler and Adelheit Andres as recorded in the birth register; in the census and births of other children in the family Adelheit's last name is given as Sutter. These problems make certain verification extremely difficult. 10 J. P. Zwicky, Schweizerisches Familienbuch (Zurich: 1947), Vol. 2, pp. 335-339. 11 Barbara and Margaretha may have been sisters, relatives, or the same person. 12 Regula Ertzinger (bap. Jan. 13, 1583, Egg), sister of Elsbeth, was on the 1633 census with her 4 ch: Margaret (b. 1609), Felix (b. 1611), Katharina (b. 1615), Elsbetha (b. 1622). The Jacob Ertzinger (m. Catharina Asper) on the 1639 Anabaptist list is probably a brother. Jacob was also on the 1657 list of emigrants to Jebsheim, France, as shown in "Anabaptist Emigration Reports," L.D.S. #1185179, as was LS121 and LS126.
