      1. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., p. 4 discusses the Diemtigal (Diemtig Valley) . Diemtigtal consists of several places: Diemtigen, Wampflen, Zwischenflüh - each of which are within walking distance of the other. The church that served these hamlets was at Diemtigen (the old church our ancestors attended was in the exact same location as the new church of which the book contains a photo.) For the earliest eras that we have written records, Zwischenflüh was the principal home of our Wampfler ancestors. The church records of Diemtigen which church included all of Diemtigtal.
