Hüss Family of Kirchlindach, Switzerland There are many mysteries left to solve regarding the Hüss family of Kirchlindach. Was Daniel Hüss, father of Maria Barbara Hüss the same Daniel Hüss who was born to Samuel Hüss and Barbara Heller? A detailed search of the Kirchlindach church records find no other Daniel Hüss. His year of birth is indicative of a first marriage at the time a marriage was recorded to Elizabeth Widmer. Therefore it remains most likely that he is one and the same man. But what of the birth of Maria Barbara Hüss to Elizabeth Moser when a prior marriage exists to Elizabeth Widmer? This researcher can find no children recorded from the Elizabeth Widmer marriage. But there is also no death of Elizabeth recorded in the Evangelische-Reformierte Kirch of Kirchlindach. Further confusing matters is the fact that Barbara Widmer, the wife of the masters son in Bern, was one of the godparents of Maria Barbara Hüss, born to Elizabeth Moser. A further complication is the fact that a Barbara Elizabeth Moser was a godparent of Maria Moser's child born in December 1757. No other children can be found from the union of Daniel Hüss and Elizabeth Moser. Therefore this researcher is led to believe that the couple never married. Further information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Kirchlindach (Bern) Samuel HUESS, u. Barbara HALLER haben tauffen
lassen Samuel zu Bern Samuel HUESS and Barbara HALLER had a child christened in Bern on the 8 Dec 1707 and the child was given the name Samuel.
As you will notice, three of the HUESS children’s baptism/christening was recorded “in a row”. For some reason they were not recorded at the actual time of their baptism, but were recorded at the same time. Perhaps a traveling minister performed the christening in the home right after they were born and recorded it on a slip of paper and later recorded them all at the same time. It seemed to be the “thing to do” because it was done to other families also.
