As can be seen in the table, in 1582, one of the sponsors of Anna, daughter of Gerg and
Barbel, was a SIGG, Anna. Thus, there was an early connection between the KNÖPFLI and
SIGG in Andelfingen. After 1607, there were two KNÖPFLI-­‐SIGG couples having children:
Elias and Anna, and Hans and Margreth. Given Elsi’s birth in around 1597, she might be a
daughter of any of the couples in the table. Her parents also might be a couple that started
and finished having children during the gap in the records.
The baptismal sponsors of the SIGG children of Adlikon included one KNÖPFLI, Eva, in 1578,
and one, Eleÿas, in 1620. In addition, there was another SIGG-­‐KNÖPFLI marriage in the
village in addition to that of Elias and Elsi: Felix SIGG and his wife Barbell KNÖPFLI had a
child in 1607. Thus, in Adlikon, there was a SIGG-­‐KNÖPFLI connection from at least 1578.
