    CLAUS OBLINGER A SWISS PIONEER c.1678 – 1730 by Willard L. Oplinger Gerald G. Oplinger, Robert L. Hess, PhD. 2015 CLAUS OBLINGER, A SWISS PIONEEER, c.1678-1730 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Background 2 New Information 3 The Pennsylvanian Claus “Oblinger” 5 The Nicolaus “Oberleger” at Schwarzenau 18 The Swiss Niclaus “Oppliger” 22 Niclaus/Claus’s Family 29 Appendices I. Sources for Church Records from Switzerland 31 II. Anna’s Gravestone 32 III. The Immigrants’ Surname 33 IV. Schwarzenau and the German Baptist Brethren (Dunkards) 35 V. Name of Claus’s Widow”? 37 Bibliography 39 1 Evidence is presented here that a Niclaus Oppliger from Bern Canton, Switzerland, was the Claus “Oblinger” who emigrated with his family to Pennsylvania in the late 1720s, thus solving a nearly two-century enigma as to the place of his European origin. BACKGROUND John D. Watkins was the first family historian to collect information and write specifically about Claus Oblinger and his family. His work was done mostly in the 1930s 1 and 40s.0F The most complete and accurate history of the Oblinger-Oplinger-Uplinger 2 family was written in 1964 by Wm. H. Rinkenbach. 1F Many people having those surnames trace their lineage back to one person, a Claus Oblinger, who came to America in the 1720s. Rinkenbach collected his information through genealogical research as well as by attending family reunions during the 1940s and 50s. His focus, however, was not on Claus himself, but rather on document-ing and recording the family trees of Claus’ descendants up until the mid-twentieth century.

But the original homestead was in the town of Oberholz; it is also called the Upper House typically by the Alemanni families. The Upper House families stayed Catholic (at least till the 20th Century). The valley families became Protestant. The younger generation moved to the "unter" (or Lower) House. This was at the Aa (meaning Spring) in the valley. As time progressed, a village grew up on the lower side of the Aa, and it became Aathal. The town of Wald is north, down the thal or valley from Aathal. The family of Oberholz worshiped in the Catholic Church of Eschenbach, on the west side of the ridge. Some church records still exist. This changed when there were enough people to build the Chapel in Oberholz. Some moved to Goldingen, remaining Catholic; with its first chapel in 1667. And some moved to St Gallenkappel, both toward Lake Zürich. Some of the Catholic Oberholzer family moved to Uznach, at the pass along the southern end

  • CHAPTER FOUR Friedel and Friedl Albert's Schwab History in Germany
    CHAPTER FOUR Friedel and Friedl Albert’s Schwab History in Germany OUR KNOWN FAMILY HISTORY STARTS WITH ANTON SCHWAB. Our history comes from the Alberts. When they were staying with us in 1981, I asked if they would write it down so we all could share in our history. Many years later they finished the Schwab History in Germany. The following is that story. Page Break S u m m a r y The Village Astheim The Carthusian Monastery - Astheim The Secularization of 1803 The Schwab History - Astheim Written and edited by Friedel and Friedl Albert Volkach/Main -- August 1988 Copied as written by Louis B. Schwab Jr. For the family book---September 1994 Revised April 1999 Page Break Astheim The Franconian ferry place “Ostheim” (Eastheim) was donated to the Benedictine Monastery at Fulda by Carolingian King Arnulf in 888. Later it passed on to the Grafen zu Castell and then to the Herren von Seinsheim and his wife Anna of Bibra. The latter founded a Carthusian Monastery here in 1409. The very austere Carthusian Order with its 250 odd monasteries rendered outstanding benefit to the development of Germany. In 1803 the Carthusian Monastery was secularized and sold to the Schwab-Clan (Valentin Jörg, Johann Gedeon Schwab and his sisters). The monastery church was bought by the Fürst von Schwarzenberg, also the Prokuratie in 1868 by Valentin Schwab. In 1954 the community of Astheim bought back the monastery church and the Prokuratie (as the town hall) for 6,000 DM from the Fürst von Schwarzenberg with the condition to preserve and to care for the buildings.

UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.
