Our ancestry traces
back to the village of Zunzgen,
located in the District of Sissach and in
the Canton of Baselland. Our ancestors attended church in the nearby village
of Tenniken. The old family records of the Tenniken church as well as the
civil records are now archived in the Staatsarchiv in Liestal, the capitol
of Baselland. If you wish to research your Swiss family history,
here is an excellent link for many leads.
We have relatives
living in Zunzgen, and other nearby towns, and in the city of Basel. If
you wish to correspond or talk with them, use the Comment Form (return to

Mary Scholer
married Alonzo Hilfiker. Alonzo’s
father was born in Switzerland, thus the Hilfiker/Scholer branch has two
Swiss “ties.” Everett Hilfiker
visited Switzerland in 1983 and researched the Hilfiker “roots.”
