This is a unique book: essentially a census of 1% of Canton Bern residents who previously had left hardly any paper trail at all. Unlike other Federal census rolls of the time which only gave general information with no names, this detailed list gives us family groups, birth years, occupations, and on and on - dream information for any genealogist doing Swiss research. The people covered were all Swiss citizens who didn't have a Gemeinde to call their own, and now - thanks to this crucial list - they finally did. As in his other highly-regarded books such as The Rohrbach Genealogy, The Höffelbauer Genealogy, and his ever-so-useful Introductory Guide to Swiss Genealogical Research, Lewis Bunker Rohrbach, CG has provided us with yet another sterling publication that should be on the bookshelf of every serious family historian with Swiss ancestry and in the genealogical collections of libraries worldwide.
