Whether you’re a longtime family member or just discovering your connection to Casper and Verena, we’re glad you’re here. This site celebrates over 170 years of Hirt family history, from our Swiss roots in the village of Stilli to the sprawling family tree that now spans the globe.
Looking for something specific? Dive into our Family History to read about Casper’s incredible journey—from gold miner to Ohio farmer—or explore the stories of the six children who carried on the family legacy. Want to trace your branch? Check out our detailed Family Trees for Charles, Samuel, Elizabeth, Frederick, Edward, and Lewis. You’ll also find historical documents, vintage photographs, and scrapbook treasures that bring our past to life.

We’re always adding new information and updating family records, so bookmark this page and check back often. And if you have stories, photos, or memories to share, we’d love to hear from you—this is our family story, and you’re part of it.
