Message Board Post:
My Wisconsin Zerbel family emigrated in 1884 from the Province of Posen, an area that is
now Poland. Before living in that area they lived in Pomerania. Your ancestor may have
been displaced by the social conditions of that era and you also might want to check the
censuses for information about birth locations. The probability of the Zerbel family
originating in Ireland is slim, they probably were passing through or maybe took a ship
from there.
