RECORD OFFICE OF THE COUNTY
OF ZURICH
ZURICH, On December 23, 1987
Heinrich Furrer, allegedly
baptized on July 6, 1731, descended from Oberlangenhard
(District Zell) in the County of Zurich. He emigrated in 1738 with is parents
and siblings to America. The family Furrer is entered in the lists of Emigrants
to America, which was set in 1744, (compare Albert B. Faust, List of Swiss
Emigrants in the Eighteenth Century to the American Colonies, vol. I,
Washington DC 1920, p. 100). The edition of these lists is unfortunately very
incorrect. Heinrich Furrer was actually baptized on July 6, 1727 and his
father's name was Leonhard not Bernhard! Since the family Furrer did not live
in Switzerland since 1738, information about the children of Heinrich Furrer is
not available.
