https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag Great!! What is the difference between Wetzikon and Unterwezikon? (referred to as Inter-Wetzikon on FS?) Is it an area near the river? below or south of Wetzikon?

I found a Felix Hirzel's Baptism  1 April 1649 
Unter-Wetzikon, Wetzikon, Zürich, Schweiz (FS KC1S-Z45)

Marriage  28 August 1683 
Unter-Wetzikon, Wetzikon, Zürich, Schweiz 

Thanks for the translation and everything else you are doing. KG

Unterwetzikon is a part of Wetzikon, next to Medikon.

Note that by clicking on the "layer" icon (to right) you can switch between different maps.

https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag Very helpful. It appears Stägen is the name of a street, not an area. Am I reading this correctly?

WSeelentag

"ortsnamen.ch" defines it as "Flurname" (field name?) - so it will be an area. On the other hand you may find even today that small hamlets just have the hamlet's name plus a house number as address - so it looks like a street address.
