| | Property Insurance No. | Explanation:
Land records:
They are kept districtwise (a district is a couple of communities together), on the so called Notariat- und Grundbuchamt, an official government office. Old documents always show the Assekuranz-Nummer (***the number of the fire insurance***), and therefore the Katasterbcher der Brandassekuranz (books of the official fire insurance) are most useful for family research. These books are kept in the Staatsarchiv (State archives). Every Kanton has one
Staatsarchiv. Nowadays every property has an Assekuranz-Nummer and a Kataster-Nummer. The Kataster is a division (classification) of the land, the Assekuranz belongs to the building. So if someone buys a house, he always has the above mentioned 2 numbers (one for the building and one for the land it stands on).

Assuming the above reference is accurate, you might wish to narrow this down to 'Fire Insurance No.', thereby excluding other more modern risks such as burglary.
I confess that I am a little puzzled by the presence of 'mit' between your source term and the xx place holder. |
