  • Notes 
    • Called “Banz Schrag the younger of Loumberg” in son Niklaus’ [Ulrich?] birth record in 1687.
      In 1689 he was called “Bani Schrag der Jung” of Loumberg. He was called son of Clausen of Loumberg when his son Ulrich was baptized in 1687.

      “Some of the first Anabaptists who requested Heimatscheine from their home communes in Bern were refused on the grounds that they were Anabaptists. Other cases were referred to the state government at Bern. One of the first Heimatscheine that was issued to an Anabaptist was received by the brothers Christen and Bendicht Schrag from Laumberg near Wynigen who were living near Court in the Munstertal. This was granted on October 20, 1763.”

      In 1738 lived in the Eschert, Jura, SW region as an Anabaptist.

      “This paternal Schrag line [Bendicht] appears to have died out.” [2, 4, 6, 7]
