Between the towns of Küttigen and Biberstein is Kirchberg. The church for the area is there, and all records that I have access to were records from this little church. The pastor wrote down the information and made an extra copy for the government of the area. At some point the records were collected and filmed so that these records could all be accessed in a central location, being the Aargau Archives. However, we stopped in at the town office of Küttigen, and asked if we could see the originals because the microfilm was not readable on the page I needed. We were given the opportunity to look and photograph pages of the books. My only wish is that we had gone there earlier and gotten copies of the original records. The films are misnamed and hard to find things in.
I have taken a break from extracting the records to try some other things, including a mission for PathwayConnect in Utah, Western Africa and Liberia. I decided that I would get back to the work of family as soon as I was finished there, but I find myself drawn back in. Could that have anything to do with Aunt Jewell being on the other side of the veil now? I suspect so.
