Misc. Notes
The Bicksler family were Anabaptist from Eggiwil, Emmental, Canton of Bern.
Between 1650 and 1690 persecution and the search for good farm land led many Swiss Brethren to Alsace, the Palatinate, and to adjoining territories like Durlach and Zweibrucken.
After 1680 and especially after 1710 the migration to Pennsylvania began which drew its strength not only from Switzerland, but also from Alsace and from South German regions, thus transcending national boundaries.
