Christian Ramseyer (bapt. 1700)

Baptism checked in the original register (2026-10-31)

Eggiwil, baptisms elsewhere (K Eggiwil 10), p. 21: “zu Mühleberg ein Christian, 2 — d. 22ten Herbstmonat 1700”, parents “die obigen” = Christen Ramseyer and Christina Gosteli (whose daughter Barbara, baptized at Wohlen 3 April 1698, is the entry above).

Still unverified: that he was Isaac’s father. Isaac (born about 1747, La Sagne, Neuchâtel) does not appear in the Eggiwil register of children baptized elsewhere for 1739–1779 (K Eggiwil 11 index: only Magdalena and Barbara, daughters of Ulrich, and a Christian). The Christian (1700) → Isaac link rests on Staker’s reconstruction of the Neuchâtel Anabaptist lists, not a record naming Isaac’s parents.

Unverified chain

Staker’s early Ramseyer generations are uncited and contain contradictions. They are kept as leads; verify against the Signau (before 1648) and Eggiwil registers now downloaded to the archive.
