Municipality and Parish localities in Bern Canton
It is important to remember that when looking for filmed or digitized records of Canton Bern that not all towns have their own parish. Because the records are listed in the Family Search Catalog not by individual place name, but rather by the name of the town that the parish was in, you can use this list to find which parish records need to be checked. Localities that are now in Canton Jura, will be listed in the catalog under both Canton Jura and Canton Bern. However, the villages that are now in Jura are not listed in this parish list. The villages that are located in the Laufental district, which since 1994 is a part of the canton of Basel-Land, are also listed in this parish list.
