Abstract

The family of Hans Ulrich Baggens toss of Rafz, Switzerland, arrived in Pennsylvania in 1743. Two m9re immigrations of Baggenstoss families from Rafz followed - one settled in Minnesota (1879); the other in Tennessee (1895). All appear related to the same Swiss ancestry. The earliest record of the name is found in 1401.
