"The village of Hirzel is located 19 miles south of Zurich, Switzerland. It is from this village, it is stated on good authority, Hirzel families migrated to Winterthur and Pfaffikon, villages about 15 miles apart, north and east of Zurich. There is record of a Jacob Hirzel born 1580, Pfaffikon. It appears that his ancestors lived in the Cantons of Switzerland for centuries before his time.....

"For the village of Pf"affikon, the earliest records are from 1597, and are stored in the Archives of Zurich. Because records before 1597 for the village of Pf"affikon are missing, it is not possible to know the parentage of Jacob or to know the names of his brothers and sisters." --New Orleans Genesis, April 1984.

"The name Hirzel is very well known in Zurich, where eleven of them have served as the burgermeister or mayor. There are several volumes of history and genealogy published on the prominent Hirzel line in Switzerland. At least one of these is in the library at SLC. It is in German, and takes the genealogy of the Hirzels back to the early 1300s. The Herzel genealogy is painted on the wall of the family that I visited in Zurich, plus the fact that they have several books on the family. The point is that the Hirzel family is known to be connected with Pfaffikon". -- Richard Hirtzel
