Igis line (Luzius H0001 → Leonhard H0003 → Robert Lucius H0017), already reconstructed in people/; this file places the Americas-extract records onto the existing H-IDs and adds keys only for people the study does not yet have. Most of the people below the second generation are living and are shown by key only.

Summary

  • Records: 147 records placed (113 confirmed, 25 probable, 9 possible) on 35 people (19 of them living).
  • Minnesota: Robert Lucius Hegnauer (H0017, 1887 Bates Co. – 1969) and Lotta Alice Donnell (H0063) at Wells, Faribault Co. (1920, 1940) and Minneapolis (1930, 1940); their sons Robert Lucius Jr. (H0025, 1916–1999) and Leonard Donnell (H0026, 1919–1950). Leonard Donnell's sons Keith Donnell (H0027, 1945–2014) and a living son [H0263] stayed in Minnesota and Wisconsin; the records add three wives of [H0263] (one deceased: Theresa Mary Waibel, 1946–1988, US-MN-002) and living children of H0263 and H0027 (US-MN-003, US-MN-004).
  • Washington and Oregon: Robert Lucius Jr. (H0025) and Adelaide Louise Curtis (H0105) at Kelso/Longview, Cowlitz Co. (1950), later Puyallup and Tacoma; Lotta Donnell Hegnauer died at Tacoma in 1973. Robert Curtis (H0173, 1942–2021) lived at Bellingham, where a Robert Galen Hegnauer (9 Jul 1963 – 31 Jul 2025, Tahoma National Cemetery; US-WA-001) also lived in 2002; he is placed as a possible son.
  • Wilbur Morris Hegnauer's family (Minneapolis, 1929–1995) is not of this line: it descends from Peter Hegnauer through Christian (H0418) and Wilbur C. (H0423); see Peter Hegnauer's (Igis) American branch: Ohio (Columbus, Mansfield), Indiana, Minnesota, Chicago, New York.
  • Christian (H0007) and Elizabeth Stadler (H0050), Oregon: North Salem, Marion Co. (1900), Crook Co. (1910), Metolius, Jefferson Co. (1930); Christian died in 1935, Elizabeth at Portland on 7 Jan 1947 (buried Methodist Hill Cemetery, Metolius). A 1947 obituary index entry with no given name, "born about 1865, died about 9 Jan 1947" (O03199), is placed on Elizabeth as probable. No children.
  • Other Washington/Oregon Hegnauers placed elsewhere: John Henry Hegnauer of Rochester married at Rainier, Thurston Co., in 1891 and his daughter Elsie at Vancouver in 1914 (Rochester, Monroe County, New York: the Seengen (Aargau) family); Edward John Hegnauer of Rochester lived in Oregon 1930–1950 (Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, Ohio: Edward John Hegnauer (1901–1961) and his descendants); a James Hegnauer born 1881 in Switzerland was at Black Diamond, King Co., in 1920 (New Jersey: Newark (Essex County) and central New Jersey, possible James Ernest).
  • Unconnected: Karen L. Hegnauer (née Johnson, 1955–2003, Tacoma; US-WA-002), wife of an unidentified Hegnauer; two living women with no known connection (US-WA-003, US-WA-004); and six living Puyallup/Port Orchard residents known only from address indexes (unplaced).

Evidence notes

  • All placements onto H0017, H0063, H0065, H0025, H0105, H0026, H0098, H0027, H0261 and the Wilson-line H-IDs follow their person files (census households, draft cards, vital-record indexes, Find a Grave). The Woodbine Cemetery, Puyallup, burial of H0025 is indexed by FamilySearch in "Jo Daviess, Illinois" (O02579; people/H0025.md).
  • Theresa Mary Waibel (US-MN-002): NUMIDENT gives her birth 31 Dec 1946 at Minneapolis, parents Edward G. Waibel and Frances C. Horgan; the Minnesota marriage index has [H0263] marrying "Theresa M. Hall", born 1946, on 26 Dec 1986 (O03418); she died at St. Paul on 3 Jul 1988.
  • Robert Galen (US-WA-001): possible only; the Bellingham addresses of 2002 (O02357) and 2005–2008 (O00292, H0173) are the only link.
  • Karen L. (US-WA-002): her NUMIDENT gives her parents as Norman L. Johnson and Wanda L. Allen, so Hegnauer was her married name; her husband is not identified.

Conflicts

  • Robert Lucius (H0017) is enumerated twice in 1930 (St. James, Watonwan Co., and Minneapolis; O03456, O03463).
  • One Blair, Wisconsin, address entry (O00269) has a birth date that does not match US-MN-004; placed on her as possible only.
  • US-WA-004 married in April 1982, while H0125 was still married to H0028 (divorced Feb 1983), so US-WA-004 is not H0125.

Open questions

  1. Is Robert Galen (1963–2025) a son of H0173? His obituary or a Washington birth record would settle it.
  2. Karen L. Johnson Hegnauer (1955–2003): whose wife was she?
  3. The Puyallup residents born 1966–2003 (unplaced): descendants of H0025 through a son not yet in the study?
