The BIERI family held citizenship at Schangnau, Canton Bern, Switzerland.
An 1839 Gazateer for Canton Bern lists that within Schangnau, is a Hof [farm]
named Bühl.11
In the church registers for Schangnau the only persons located as of Bühl
were:
In 1769 Ulli [Ulrich] Bieri for the baptism of his daughter Barbara
In 1774 Ulli Bieri for the baptism of his son Freiderich
In 1782 Catharina Bieri [daughter of Ulli] for the baptism of her daughter
        Catarina Egli. Also, one of the sponsors was Catarina Bürki, wife of Ulli
        Bieri auf dem Bühel and the child's grandmother. 
In 1783 Peter Bieri [son of Ulich] for the baptism of his son Peter
In 1786 Catarina Bieri was of Bühl for the baptism of her daughter Anna Egli
In 1788 One of the sponsors for Catarina Bieri and her husband Christian Egli
        for their daughter Barbara was Anna Bieri ob dem Bühl. Anna was 
        probably her sister Anna.
In 1790 Hans Bieri [son of Ulrich] was listed as of auf dem Bühl for his marriage.
In 1793 Hans Bieri, Ulrich's son auf Buhl had a daughter Elisabeth baptized.
16 Mar. 1796 Ullerich Bieri auf dem Bühl, age 68 died.3
In 1798 Hans Bieri, the deceased Ullerich's son had a son Christian baptized.

The above records make it clear that it is the Ulrich who died in 1796 and his
children who were listed as of Bühl. His age of 68 at death places his birth as
about 1728. There are different possibilities as to which baptism pertains to
this Ulrich:
Ullrich bap. 17 Nov. 1726, son of Niclaus Bieri and Magdaleni Sigedaler [Siegenthaler]10
Ullrich bap. 12 Feb. 1727, son of Christen Bieri and Anna Farni10
Ulli bap. 22 Aug. 1728, son of Peter Bieri and Elisabeth Gerber10
Ulli bap. 21 Aug. 1729 son of Christen Bieri and Trini Mathys10

At present, the earliest identified person in this line is Ulrich BIERI who
was born about 1728 from his age at death, and died 16 Mar. 1796.3 He married
about 1750 to Catharina BÜRKI.

Ulrich BIERI and Catharina BÜRKI had children born and baptized at Schangnau.
