......*Friend of Glawi Zwallen:

Magdalena Zwallen (1581 - ?) entered our lineage as the wife of Heinrich Wuersten (1560 - ?). She introduced yet another Swiss line of ancestors that goes back to the beginning of the 16^th century.

Hans Zwallen (abt 1500 - ?) Born in Gruben, Switzerland

children: @ Christian Zwallen (abt 1530 - ?)

The oldest known ancester of the Zallen family was Hans Zwallen (abt 1500 - ?). He was born in Gruben, Switzerland but beyond that, we know little about him. Hans was the father of Christian Zwallen (abt 1530 - ?).

Christian Zwallen (abt 1530 - ?)

father: Hans Zwallen (abt 1500 - ?)

wife: Marie Aellen (abt 1532 - ?)

children: Christian Zwallen (October 4, 1558 - ?)

@ Glawi Zwallen (July 14, 1561 - ?)

Benedicta Zwallen (August 1, 1564 - ?)

Mathaeus Zwallen (August 7, 1570 - ?)

Mathaeus Zwallen (August 6, 1571 - ?)

Margaret Zwallen (April 11, 1574 - ?)

As with his father, we know little about Christian Zwallen (abt 1530 - ?) except that he was born in Gruben, Switzerland and that he married Marie Aellen (abt 1532 - ?). Christian Zwallen (abt 1530 - ?) and his wife, Marie Aellen (abt 1532 - ?) had 6 children one of whom was our ancestor, Glawi Zwallen (1561 - ?).

Glawi Zwallen (July 14, 1561 - ?) Born in Saanen, Switzerland

father: Christian Zwallen (abt 1530 - ?)

mother: Marie Aellen (abt 1532 - ?)

wife: # 1 Barbara Janns (abt 1563 - ?) married on March 4, 1579/80

children: @ Magdalena Zwallen (September 17, 1581 - ?)

Jacob Zwallen (February 15, 1582/83 - ?)

Benedicta Zwallen (May 20, 1590 - ?)

Anna Zwallen (November 12, 1592 - ?)

Matthaeus Zwallen (November 15, 1596 - ?)

Hans Zwallen (January 18, 1599/00 - ?)

Anna Zwallen (February 17, 1603/04 - ?)

Benedicta Zwallen (February 9, 1605/06 - ?)

wife: # 2 Benedicta Russi

Kuengeli Zwallen (October 9, 1590 - ?)

The name "Glawi" is the Swiss for the German name, "Nikolaus." Glawi Zwallen (1561 - ?) was born in Saanen, Switzerland. He married twice. He initially married Barbara Janns (abt 1563 - ?) on

March 4, 1579/80 in Saanen, Switzerland with whom he had 12 children. One of these 12 children was our ancestor, Magdalena Zwallen (1581 - ?). Then sometime after 1589 Glawi married Benedicta Russi with whom he had 1 child. There appears to have been marital disharmony, for nearly the next 10 years, however. During this period Glawi Zwallen had an illegetimate child by Benedicta, daughter of Simon Russi, but he kept having children with Barbara, also.
