Our Castle







This blog is for all persons named Hollinger or Hullinger or Holliger or Holiger. We have a substantial amount of our family history on the links below. We hope you enjoy the information. If you have information or photos you would like to add please email them to me and I will add them to this blog. craighullinger@gmail.com

Our known ancestors came from Canton Aargau, Switzerland. We have been there and it is a lovely area. We have also met our Swiss relatives. and compared genealogies. They were the same for Swiss history from 1400 to when our ancestor immigrated to America. The castle above is adjacent to our ancestral villages.

Hullinger / Hollinger












Our 
Our Hullinger family originated in the small Village of Holvil (Boniswyl), Aargu, Switzerland, located west of Zurich. We have visited this community and met relatives. Our ancestor left Switzerland in 1736.

The community is very attractive, with a small castle located at the foot of a lake. A fast flowing stream forms a moat around the castle. The small community is affluent and friendly.



After leaving Switzerland, our people gradually moved west, settling first in Pennsylvania, then Virginia, Ohio, Illinois Iowa, and finally homesteading in western South Dakota, south of the Capital of Pierre in Vivian.
