It is a known fact that the ruler of Brandenburg invited many other nationalities to settle in Brandenburg after the Thirty Years War to repopulate certain areas and to boost the local economy. Such invitations were also followed by Swiss migrants from Bern in 1691. The author Franz Moser identified those immigrants who actually settled in Brandenburg after leaving Switzerland and published his findings in Archiv für Sippenforschung 14. Jahrgang, Heft 2 (1937), starting with page 143. The lists of emigrants can give the researcher details about family situations and often their places of origin.
