The churchbooks of Kirchgemeinde Sornetan, Canton Bern, Switzerland 1713-1875 are contained in
19 original Kirchenbücher, all of which are held by Staatsarchiv des
Kantons Bern, which also owns the copyright to all of them. The 19
Kirchenbücher of Kirchgemeinde Sornetan include the records of the Gemeinden Châtelat, Monible, Rebévelier, Sornetan, and Souboz. Two additional KB remain in the archives of the city: Registre des naissances (births) 1798-1811 and Registre des catéchumènes (catechisims) 1784-1807. Staatsarchiv Bern has duplicated all 19 Kirchenbücher on 3 rolls
of microfilm. It is these 3 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!
