The Ancestors of
Johannes Liechty
(1827-1910)

Reading This Book
If, while reading the following pages of this book, the reader will keep these few facts in
mind, a much clearer understanding of the contents will result. The format or style used in this
book is known as the Modified Register System, which has been refined by the National
Genealogical Society.
Three types of numbers are used: one to uniquely identify the individual, one to indicate
the generation into which that person falls, and one to denote his or her birth-order within the
nuclear family. The identification numbering system used in this book is called The Ahnentafel
System. The father's ID number is twice the child's number and the mother's ID number is twice
the child's number plus one. Only the direct line is numbered. The child's siblings are listed, but
not numbered.
When an individual is introduced in his/her separate sketch, the name appears in boldface
letters with the surnames in all capital letters. The name is preceded by the identification number.
The last given name is followed immediately by a superscript number indicating the number of
generations from the starting individual in this book.
When the list of children is presented, the ID number is printed, followed by M/F
indicating the sex. Next a small roman numeral in front of the name designates birth-order. Next
the name is followed by the birth and death dates. The spouse and notes will be listed for children
who are not the direct ancestor or who had no children.
The term "Spouse" may have several different meanings: husband, wife, partner, mate,
parent, or significant other. The couple involved may not be legally married.
The index is arranged alphabetically by surname. Under each surname, the given names
are alphabetically arranged. The name is followed by the year of birth and death in square
brackets. The number to the right indicates the page where this name appears. The wife appears
under her maiden name and under her married names with her maiden name in parentheses.
We have used the LIECHTY FAMILY RECORD of Biglen, Bern, Switzerland by Julius Billeter
as the basis of our research. This record contains approximately 3000 Liechty names extracted
from the Biglen Parish in Bern County, Switzerland. The pedigree of the Liechty=s which was
copied out of this record, by some former researcher, in about 1922 and distributed throughout
the family was found by Ms. Gygli. to have some errors. It was found that on page 85 of the
Liechty Family Record the researcher picked up the name of a Johannes Liechti, born on 9 Oct
1791, whose parents were Johannes Liechti and Elsbeth Iucker, supposedly the grandparents of
our immigrant Johannes,. On the same page as the next entry there is another Johannes Liechti
born on the same date, 9 Oct 1791, whose parents are Niklus Liechti and Magdalena Buhlmann.
Ms. Gygli proved by the names of the witnesses that the second Johannes is the correct one. This
then changed our pedigree from that point on and is corrected in this book.
Following are the two letters from Yvonne Gygli informing us of the necessary changes in our
pedigree.
