The churchbooks of Kirchgemeinde Oberdiessbach, Canton Bern, Switzerland 1587-1875 are contained in
37 original Kirchenbücher, all of which are held by Staatsarchiv des
Kantons Bern, which also owns the copyright to all of them. The 37
Kirchenbücher of Kirchgemeinde Oberdiessbach include the records of the Gemeinden Aeschlen, Bleiken bei Oberdiessbach, Brenzikofen, Freimettigen, Herbligen and Oberdiessbach (formerly Diessbach bei Thun); plus the community Hauben. In 1840, Kirchgemeinde Kurzenberg was formed from part of Oberdiessbach as well as the formerly independent Gemeinden Ausserbirrmoos, Innerbirrmoos, and Otterbach. Kurzenberg was renamed Linden in 1945. Staatsarchiv Bern has duplicated all 37 Kirchenbücher on 18 rolls
of microfilm. It is these 18 rolls of microfilm which, with the assistance
of Staatsarchiv des Kantons Bern, we have digitized here on CD-Rom in easy to use PDF format. These CDs have the Adobe abilities to enlarge the images, etc., but the CDs are not printable. However, printed copies of individual pages are available for those who have purchased CDs at a cost of $2.50 per page plus p&h. Also included on the CD is a map of Switzerland showing Canton bounderies, a map of Canton Bern showing the location of the Gemeinde, a foreword, bookmarks to each separate churchbook, and a list of Geschlechter for this Gemeinde. A valuable Swiss research tool!
