Summary

  • Records on the people held in this file: 6 records placed (6 confirmed, 0 probable, 0 possible) on 5 people (2 of them living). None of these families is linked to a Swiss or American line.
  • Canada: there is no Canadian Hegnauer family in the extract. The Canadian records belong to the Rochester (Seengen) family: Albert Henry Hegnauer, his Toronto-born wife Helen Alexandra Ritchie and their two children were living at Newton, Vaudreuil County, Quebec, in 1950 (O01331–O01335; FamilySearch indexes the place as "Canada East, British North America"); Helen crossed the border in 1935, 1940 and 1948. Anna Ethel Brown, wife of Frederick Rudolph Hegnauer of Rochester, was born in Canada about 1884. See Rochester, Monroe County, New York: the Seengen (Aargau) family.
  • Argentina (Mendoza): Alberto Hegnauer, son of Santiago Hegnauer and Ana Clev, married Clementina Morales at Lavalle, Mendoza, on 31 Dec 1917 (O03003, O03004).

Evidence and open questions

  • Santiago (Jakob) and Catalina (Katharina) are Spanish forms of Swiss/German names; both families are probably 19th-century Swiss or German emigrants, but no record states an origin. The Mendoza parish marriage and the Uruguayan civil marriage cards may give the parents' birthplaces.
  • The Honduran and Colombian entries are probably 20th-century Swiss emigrants (Schmid, Hug); not researched further.
