Genealogie
According to one of my genealogical contacts in Bern the
Thöne(n)-family comes originally from Oberwallis (the Goms) and were
Walser. Because they didn't have enough income they emigrated from
there. In the 12. and 13. century this emigrations took place to:
-
Grosse and Kleine Walsertal (Vorarlberg, Austria);
- Bosco-Gurin in
the Maggiatal (Tessin, Switzerland);
- over the passes Grimsel,
Lötschen and Gemmi to Berner Oberland and esspecially in Reutigen
(Berner Oberland, Switzerland).

The Thöne's from Frutigen (Berner
Oberland) are also originally from Reutigen. One of them, Hans Thöne
(reformed), married Catharina Rychen, who was from a Baptist-family.
Because the Baptists had much problems in Switzerland with the
government they moved to Holland and other countries where they could
live in peace. For Hans Thöne and his family this happened in
1711.
