  • Notes 
    • Unzicker, originally Hunzicker= from Hunzicken, Canton Bern. The initial H was probably lost during a stay in France where an H is not pronounced at the beginning of a word.

















      More likely, Elizabeth could have been a sister to Daniel b. 1798 who married Magdalena Kahn.} [3, 8, 9]
