I am searching for information on my great-grandfather, Christian NYDEGGER. He was born 11 November 1854 or 1855 at Albligen, Bern, Switzerland. Christian NYDEGGER immigrated to the US in 1888. He may have been naturalized in 1910. He immigrated and lived at Shields, North Dakota. He married Julie Fern TEICHMER (or TISCHMIER), possibly 1893. He died at Shields, North Dakota 15 August 1938. Julie and Christian had 5 children: Arthur, born in Nebraska; Esther, born in Nebraska; Ida, born in Nebraska; Mattey, born in Missouri; and John (my grandfather), born in North Dakota. Christian's parents names may have been Hans NYDEGGER, born 13 June 1784 at Albligen, Bern, Switzerland, died 15 November 1851, and Elsbeth BRUELLHARD, born 9 February 1786 at Albligen, Bern, Switzerland, died 7 January 1863. These two had 9 children: Christian NYDEGGER (1809-1882); Anna NYDEGGER (1812-1812); Hans NYDEGGER (1813-1813); Anna NYDEGGER (1814-1814); Johann NYDEGGER (1815-?); Friedrich NYDEGGER (1819-?); Anna NYDEGGER (1823-?); Barbara NYDEGGER (1826-1862); and Elsbeth NYDEGGER (1831-?). Any information would be appreciated.
