Descendants of Christina Neuenschwander, daughter of Christian and Magdalena (Stauffer) Neuenschwander

Christina's parents - Christian and Magdalena (Stauffer) Neuenschwander moved into the Jura Mountains of Switzerland shortly after marriage and lived at various places there, where he worked as a herder, dairyman and cheese maker. They had 13 children. In 1754 Magdalena and the children, most by that time identified as Anabaptists, emigrated to Pennsylvania and lived in Lancaster County.
