I tried to email you a map but no luck. I will try again. Start at Bern and follow the highway east to Langnau, South of Langnau about 15k you will see Eggiwil on the Emme River.
My ancestors were from the Bowil/ Eggiwil area also.My wife and I visited it in Sept. 2000.What a lovely village.Have you tried http://www.familysearch.orghttp://www.familysearch.org , the mormon site.Just type in the surname for a complete search.You can also order the Eggiwil church records through one of their family history centers.The map is a scan of Badaekers map that comes with their travel book.I have found it to be the most comprehensive.Happy to send you some pictures I have of Eggiwil.. Did you check out http://www.eggiwil.chhttp://www.eggiwil.ch. ?
To translate the site into English go to
http://world.altavista.com/trhttp://world.altavista.com/tr and type in the URL then convert German to English.
Good luck.John Eric Kammermann
