Biography[]
The Switzer Residence is the middle-class home of Alfalfa Switzer on Hoagland Avenue, possibly the same street as the McFarland Residence as the boys of both houses are such good friends. Not much is known about what the father does for a living. It is known that Alfalfa has a brother named Harold, nick-named Slim who he sings with in Beginner's Luck and twin brothers. The extended family includes Cousin Wilbur and Aunt Penelope from Alfalfa's Aunt. Alfalfa's dad is not fond of his sister-in-law, paying his son cash for driving her out of the house.
It is possible but not confirmed that Alfalfa's parents names are William and Barabara Switzer - the first names of the two actors most common in the roles.
