Anna Adank

Born at Ardez in 1864.

born before 24 Jan 1864 at Ardez, Graubünden

Life story

Anna Adank was baptised at Ardez, in the Lower Engadine, on 24 January 1864, the first child of Adam Adank and Maria Hegnauer, who had married at Igis, Graubünden, in August 1863.1 She was a granddaughter of Peter Hegnauer and Anna Berri. No later record of her has been found; she is not named among her mother's children on WikiTree, and she may have died young.

  2. 1864 Baptism 24 Jan 1864 · Ardez, Graubünden · proven

    The index gives only "Schweiz"; the register is identified from the film (probable; see Research Notes).

    The only index entry of the baptism. Its record page gives digital folder 8196022, image group 004, image 56. The FamilySearch catalog puts that folder on film 1192669, which holds the Lower Engadine registers of Ftan (items 1–2), Ardez (items 3–4), Guarda (5) and Lavin (6); image group 004 is the Ardez book of 1837–1875.

Research notes

  • Sources: One FamilySearch index entry; the image has not been viewed.1
  • Place: The index gives only "Schweiz", which FamilySearch standardizes as "Schwyz"; that is not the canton Schwyz. The record page gives digital folder 8196022, image group 004, image 56. In the FamilySearch catalog this folder is film 1192669, with the registers of Ftan (items 1–2), Ardez (items 3–4), Guarda (item 5) and Lavin (item 6). Image group 004 is the Ardez book of 1837–1875: 51 of the 62 index entries for Clalüna, an Ardez family, are in it, and group 006 holds the Lavin family Filli. The baptism is therefore probably at Ardez, not at Igis as the study first thought. The image would confirm it. Her parents' marriage of August 1863 is also entered in the Ardez book (see Maria Hegnauer).
  • Leads: the Ardez register (baptisms, burials 1864–1870); the family's emigration and the 1870 and 1880 US censuses.
  • This profile is part of the Hegnauer one-name study, as a granddaughter of Peter Hegnauer.

Working notes

  • Bapt. 24 Jan 1864 (FS place Schwyz; probably Igis register)
  • WikiTree Adank-60 = her (Anna (Adank) Pinner, b. 18 Jan 1864, m. John J. Pinner, 8 children, d. 2 May 1957 Chicago - sourced WikiTree bio NOT replaced)
  • Master must absorb this before any republish
  • Register identified 27 Sep 2026: her 1864 baptism is in the Ardez register (DGS 8196022, image group 004, image 56; probable), not Igis and not canton Schwyz; the 'Schwyz' of the index is FamilySearch's standard for 'Schweiz'
