There is confusion over whether there are two different Heinrich Berrs mistakenly merged together in my data: one born around 1688 and the other born around 1694. One source is the family Bible listings from the Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, both their July 2014 and their July 2019 "Reserach Tips." The other source is Jane Best's "Bear Saga Update: Part One" in the Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, July 1998. Please see "Heinrich Berr (1688-1738) for more detail.
Hans Bar and Anna Bar were twins.

Notes
Birth
Heinrich Berr was born 24 November 1694, according to the family Bible listing from "Research Tips" in Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage (both the July 2014 and the July 2019 issues). This is the source of the confusion over whether there are two different Heinrich Berrs mistakenly merged together in my data. Due to the many matches of other data related to Heinrich Berr, I have chosen to keep him as is, and simply note the clashing information. A Heinrich Ber was baptized 1688 February 29, according to Jane Best.Marriage
Barbara Eby and Heinrich Berr were wed on the 14th, but I do not know which month.Death
Hans Heinrich Berr's property was inventoried on 26 December 1738.Endnotes
