Emmentaler Geschlechter und Wappenbuch

A great source for many of the early, prominent families, who settled in the Emmental region of Canton Bern, Switzerland. There are hundreds of family names listed alphabetically, with their unique family Wappens (Family Crests) accompanied by a brief commentary of the first noted members who carried that particular family name. A very valuable tool for Swiss Genealogical research. Note, the text is in Swiss-German. J. Christopher Grossenbacher 2011
