The Taufer emigration -- Swiss Th�ne to Dutch Teune
The Th�ne family was established in Reutigen and then in Frutigen where there still are many Th�ne/Th�nen. The records in these towns include quite a few Th�ne going back to about 1480. Unfortunately, the local archive burned down so earlier records could not be obtained. Herma Teune through her genealogy contact in Bern, Erich Th�nen were able to uncover several branches of the D�nen, Th�nen, Th�ne family in Frutigen and Reutigen. And Erich was also able to establish that these families were of Walser origin. So, the Th�nen/Th�ne family can be followed with some gaps from 1480 until we have a Hans Th�nen born in 1661 whom we know for sure emigrated to the Netherlands and can clearly trace the lineage of until the present day. |
