hello
i bumped into your family tree. got me very interested. my name is Bat
Sheva Zeisler. Unlike you I am jewish and from Israel.
But the source of our family is somewhat clouded. and as one of my
father's names i Simon and it is after some great grandfather that i
couldn't find out who he was i am very curious.
my father came from Poland. but the family Zeisler came to Krakow where he
was born just two generations before him and we really don't know from
where. We always knew of course that the source of the name is German.
Germans in Germany always tell me it is not a Jewish name. so you made me
curious.
I'll be glad if you'll be in touch..

Hello bat,
I know of other Zeisler's that are Jewish. One with whom I've worked with
recently is James Zeisler at <JZeisler(a)msn.com>. I suggest you contact
him and compare notes. I also sent him a copy of a letter from a Jewish
lady in pre-WWII that had written my Uncle asking for sponsership in
getting out of Germany and coming to America. I do know that James is
also in contact with other Zeisler's of the Jewish faith.
I might suggest that you consider becoming a member of the Zeisler Rootsweb
Mail List. This would allow you to share Zeisler genealogy & lineage
information with other Zeisler's/Zeisler descendants. There are no fees
or charges. I'm sending a copy of this email to the Zeisler Roots Web Mail
List so others may contact you also.
Lastly, somewhere in Isreal is a "Wall of Honor" with the names inscribed
of persons that have supported the Isreal cause. I know that my name
"JUCH"is inscribed on that wall due to some actions to hide young jewish
women in Holland during the German occupation. I know the story behind
this but would like to know more about the "Wall" if you would happen to
know and would share with me?
My Zeisler name was spelled Zeissler in Germany!
Good luck in your search and I look forward to hear from you again.
