Hallo
Zu den Flückiger gibt es eine sehr intressante Illustration:

Unter Google findet man:
"Hofchronik der Familien Flückiger auf den Höfen zu Lünisberg in Ursenbach"

Unter I. Genealogischer Teil:
Sechs Jahre vorher 1566, hatte sich derselbe Andreas Flückiger als Ausburger von Burgdorf eingekauft. Das Geschlecht der Flückiger zählt also zu den alten, wenn auch nicht den ältesten Bürgergeschlechtern der Gemeinde Wynigen.

Gruss

Hello Christian: Uech5:

Thank you so much for picking up on this thread. I am now attempting to sort Flueckiger families in the great Huttwil area. I do not have an idea how many separate Flueckiger families migrated down from the Weissenburg / Nuremburg, Bavaria area in the 1300s. If anyone has created a list of the various Flueckiger families, I am interested!

Thank you for the clues.

Sincerely, Mrs. Robin Flickinger Gaynor

Hallo

Eine Frau Gertrud Flückiger hat die Flückiger erforscht und eine Chronik gemacht:

Flückiger Chronik: Ursprung und Geschichte der Flückiger/Flükiger von 500 bis 1994 341 Seiten.
Die Familie stammt aus Flueckigen in Oberaargau in der Schweiz. Text auf Deutsch, mit einer Zusammenfassung auf Englisch.

Leider nicht ersichtlich wo man diese Chronik kaufen kann.

Gruss
Christian

Hello Robin,

the source to check is the Register of Swiss Surnames:This lists all places of citizenship in Switzerland for Flückiger since before 1800 (all in canton Bern). The Register does ot tell you, if there are any connections between these lines (or which); it also does not tell you which lines could be traced back to Weißenburg and/or Nürnberg.

As mentioned before - we only discuss single families (defined by surname and place of citizenship) in each topic. To date we have topics on
Flückiger von Auswil BE
Flückiger von Huttwil BE
Flückiger von Lauperswil BE
Flückiger von Rohrbach BE
Flückiger von Rüegsau BE
Flückiger von Wynigen BE (this topic here)

There is also a topic on Occurences of Flückiger (and somewhat similar spellings) in Switzerland: this is meant to provide some basic information - it is not meant to be used for discussions!

So - if you wish to discuss Flückiger of Huttwil, you are invited to ask your questions there. The advantage for you is that forum members who have already contributed to this topic will be notified about your question automatically.

If you want to discuss other lines (mentioned in the "Register"), please, start a new topic for that line. Always try to make sure first, to which place of citizenship your question is related.

This does not suggest an immigration from Germany ... possibly just for one or very few lines.

I would like urge all members interested in this family, to first discuss individual lines (places of citizenship) based on quotable sources (e.g. church records) and not to try to research "forwards" by starting centuries ago, hoping to bring all lines together. This is inefficient: if there are sources bringing you back to a common ancestor (or a small number of them) that far back this ancestor can be determined this way - if there are no sufficient sources, experience tells us, that trying to search forward over centuries is a waste of time.

In this topic here: only Flückiger of Wynigen, please.
