Research Notes:
We are researching the parents of Anna Brubaker, spouse of Hans Meyer.

We seek evidence to clarify this relationship.

1661 Hans Jacob Brubacher signed a letter in 1661 with his brother Hans Heinrich as hereditary tenants living at Ibersheim to Elector Karl Ludwig asking for help in obtaining their inheritance of their mother Anna Pfister in Wädenswil. The Zürich authorities denied their request because they would not deny their Anabaptist religion. [10]
