4,898 pages of the original church records.
The churchbooks of Kirchgemeinde Twann, Canton Bern, Switzerland 1608-1875 are contained in
21 original Kirchenbücher, all of which are held by Staatsarchiv des
Kantons Bern, which also owns the copyright to all of them. The 21
Kirchenbücher of Kirchgemeinde Twann include the records of the Gemeinden Ligerz, Tüscherz-Alfermée, and Twann. The community Sutz-Twann Eherodel 1752-1839 are in KB 17. In addition to the 21 KB here, Staatsarchiv is missing the Twann Taufrodel 1701-1804, Eherodel 1700-1832, and Totnrodel 1730-1838, which would raise the total to 24 KB. Staatsarchiv Bern has duplicated all 21 Kirchenbücher on 5 rolls
of microfilm. It is these 5 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!
