| Censuses | Death. He is not in the household in the census of June 1880, when he would have been about nine, and his mother's five living children in 1900 are all otherwise known, so he had died by 1900, very probably before June 1880. | Nothing found | not noted | Emil Hegnauer the research notes |

| Censuses | 1935 and 1940. Her 1940 census line (index only) places her at Chehalem Center, Yamhill County, as sister-in-law of the head, in a household whose indexed members are Louise Marnach, 70, wife of the head, and five people surnamed Strait and Moore, aged 24 to 1, all indexed as "son" or "daughter"; the relationships look garbled, and the head's own line is not in the index list. | Nothing found | not noted | Elizabeth Stadler the research notes |

Registers read and excluded: Boltigen (K Boltigen 4, Nov 1814–Jan 1815: no Stocker; no. 1 of 1815 is a Magdalena Martig [?]), Wimmis (K Wimmis 6: Dec 1814 has baptisms on the 11th and 25th only), Reutigen (K Reutigen 3: last 1814 baptism 11 Dec), Thurnen (K Mühlethurnen 10: its 18 Dec 1814 child is Magdalena Schwarzmann, bapt. 1 Jan 1815), Lauenen (K Lauenen 4: none on 18 Dec) and Steffisburg (K Steffisburg 10: 18 Dec 1814 is Anna Hodel; no Stocker). | Nothing found | The Bernese registers: the Hirschi, Stutzmann and Stocker families | |
| Church and parish registers | Parents (probable; upgraded from possible on 28 Sep 2026). She is taken to be the wife of Peter Hirschi because (1) it is the only baptism of a Maria Stu(t)zmann at Thierachern from 1760 to 1790 in FamilySearch's index; the other two women of that name on the film were already mothers in 1756 (the wife of Jacob Nafzger, indexed Rafzger, Kafzger) and 1772 (the wife of Christen Ischer), so they were born decades earlier; (2) her burial entry of Nov 1828 gives her age as 49, which fits a baptism in Sep 1779; (3) the godfather of her son in 1814, "Christen Stutzmann, der Mutter Bruder", fits the Christian baptised at Thierachern on 8 Aug 1790, son of Johannes Stutzmann and Anna Feller; the only other Christen Stutzmann baptised there between 1765 and 1795 was a son of Christen Stutzmann and Madlena Müller, born in 1780, and no Maria was baptised to that couple there; (4) Stutzmann and Feller relatives of Uebeschi stood godparents to her grandchildren in 1834–1841: Christian Feller, district judge, at Uebeschi (1834), Susanna Stutzmann (1836), Anna Stutzmann, Peter's daughter, probably her niece (1838), Johannes Stutzmann of Uebeschi (1839) and Jakob Feller, the judge's son (1841). | Only other people | Maria Stutzmann the research notes | |
| Church and parish registers | Other children. The FamilySearch index returned only these three sons of a Hirschi father and a Stutzmann mother; the Thierachern baptism register has not yet been read page by page for 1803–1822, so a child baptised under a variant spelling could have been missed. | Only other people | not noted | Peter Hirschi the research notes |

| Church and parish registers | Parents (probable, upgraded 27 Sep 2026). (1) The Hegnauers of Igis all descend from Jacob, who married there in 1715; no Hegnauer appears in the Igis registers before him, and no other Hegnauer family lived in Graubünden in the 1700s (the variant-spelling harvest of 27 Sep 2026 found none). | Nothing found | Christian Hegnauer the research notes | |
| Church and parish registers | Burial (possible only; downgraded from probable, 27 Sep 2026). When the entry was found she was taken to be Nutt's wife: the surname is hers, in the feminine form the register used for her; a woman born in 1722 was 24 to 40 when her children were born, 1746–1762; and no other Magdalena Krättli of that age is indexed. | Nothing found | Madlena Krädtli the research notes | |
| Church and parish registers | Birth and baptism (probable; found 27 Sep 2026). The Luzein church book (FamilySearch film DGS 8126170, folder 003; the index gives the place only as "Schweiz") records the baptism on 3 Dec 1791 of "Tschina" Pleisch, whose parents are indexed as "Bernhard" Pleisch and Maria Nett; no birth date is indexed. | Nothing found | Christina Pleisch the research notes | |
| Church and parish registers | Birth and baptism (probable; found 27 Sep 2026). It is the only baptism of a Christina or Tschina Pleisch with a Nett mother in the Luzein index for 1765–1800 (27 Pleisch baptisms in all), and no burial of this Tschina as a child was found (every Pleisch burial on the film, 1791–1812, was checked). | Nothing found | Christina Pleisch the research notes | |
| Church and parish registers | His daughter's probable baptism (found 27 Sep 2026). No other child of a Leonhard (or "Bernhard") Pleisch and Maria Nett is indexed at Luzein for 1788–1800. | Nothing found | Leonhard Pleisch the research notes | |

| Church and parish registers | Later life: not found. None of the 138 Igis index records of a Leonhard is a Leonhard Hegnauer after his baptism, so no marriage or burial of his at Igis is indexed (the burial index runs to 1887). | Nothing found | not noted | Leonhard Hegnauer the research notes |
