133.Hans Hirschi, b. c1663. He was a Mennonite living at Friedelsheim in 1717. He was probably the father of Andrew and Christian Hershey who arrived in Pennsylvania in about 1724.Hans is not found in any other records after 1717, perhaps he died on the voyage to America in about 1724.

Most of the Schanganu church records were lost when the church there burned down in 1692, so records previous to that are sketchy.The records for Signau (which included Eggiwil) are missing from about 1619 to 1647 which has made it difficult to research this family.
