Research

as of Nov 9, 2025, my RootsMagic program includes the children of Rudolf Zur Linden and Maria Ehrsm, which still corresponds with the information on my blog. Also all work for them has been done. 

Search for ancestry for Maria Ehrsam about 1682, death date is not unreasonable of, 23 April 1759. which is possible but not enough ties to my ancestor to add this information to her fact sheet. Franc Ehrzam died 25 May 1759 in Dornach. Maria Ehrsam died 23 Apr 1759 in Dornach. Bannwil and Dornach are 58 km apart so not likely mine.

There are only 21 historical records, all attached that are possible. Swiss Family Name Book shows the Ehrsam families is from (the family I an researching Ehrsam BE Bannwil a
