1. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., pp. 29-51 provides copies and detailed discussion of various mortgages contracted in the late 1600's by Hans Wampler and his sons with the Diemtigen Church funds which acted as a local bank. Using these mortgages, one can prove that Hans did in fact have three sons: Peter, Hans, and Christian. Several of the mortgages were redeemed in 1720 by Jacob Klossner and his sister Barbara Klossner - there was a Barbara Klossner who married the son Hans Wampfler. The Swiss named every piece of land and these names still survive - using these mortgages one can locate Schuopis, Geisegg, and Meniggrund. Specifically we learn the family home was on the Geisegg in Oeyen which is in Zwischenflüh and can be walked today. (The book contains a photo of this piece of land in a panoramic view of the large alpine valley.) One of the mortgages refers to Peter Klossner, brother in law of Hans Wampfler, or brother to Barbara Klossner.
