Transcriptions of Swiss Church Records?
« on: Tuesday 25 May 21 16:43 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know if full transcriptions exist for church records (Baptisms, Marriages and Burials) in Switzerland?  For example the Bern archive has hundreds of church registers with all the images online for that canton - but no transcriptions.  The main genealogy sites only seem to have a small proportion of all Swiss records transcribed and indexed - and not Bern.

The only transcription resource of note for Switzerland are those of at familysearch.com
Maybe others can suggest any more, but I’m not aware of significant ones.

it would help if you gave a timeline and also Christian names - here is an example of a Familytree from Frenkendorf ,Basle ,Switzerland

OP has another thread running on this subject, https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=849193.0
Perhaps you should close that one to keep all replies in one place.
The surname could have been changed over time, especially if moving to an English speaking location. Sche**** is a likely start. Go to https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/famn/index.php and type ‘sche’ in the surname box, then select BE for Canton and see the variations possible.

@garstonite - His first name was Samuel (Samuel CHERY) and we believe he was born in Bern canton in 1692 - although this date maybe unreliable.  As a French Huguenot we think he was unlikely to ever be a Swiss citizen as he married in Ludweiler (now in Saarland, Germany) in 1717.  Many Huguenots were expelled from Bern canton in 1690s.
