Dear Zeller Family,
I have found the Castle Rideau where our most ancient of Zeller ancestors once lived!
Zeller was originally von Zell & before that was de Celle...
de Cella, our most ancient Zeller ancestor was born in 1180 and died in Zellerhoff,
Hohenstadt, Switzerland.
Otto de Cella born about 1200, died about 1250 in Castle Rideau, Switzerland
Heinreich von Zell, who was born about 1270 died there, also.
Chunrat von Zell, who was born about 1300, died there.
Stephen Zeller, was born about 1326 in Castle Rideau.
And, on down through the family line to us, Greg Zeller, Joanne Zeller, Matthew Zeller,
and...
Yours,
Gordon Zeller
PS I trust you enjoyed the Castle Rideau video, too -- good music & shots of our
ancestral dwelling.
