    He is listed in the family record with his parents and their 14 children.  This appears in the civil records of Altenschwand which is available on microfilm (LDS film #0957339, batch K969141).  His parents are listed on this record. According to this record, it seems that the first Andreas died in infancy. This Andreas (#2) was given the same name. This practice was common in those days, especially when using the name of a parent.
