Message Board Post:
Searching for the family of origin of Amelia Zeller who married Franklin Seibert about
1877. In 1880 census they were shown living in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, PA with
small children Clarence and Bessie.
She says she and both of her parents were born in PA.
This couple apparenly later live in Jackson Township, Lebanon County, PA. per their
daughter's marriage and obituary.
Who are Amelia's Zeller parents? SIblings? In 1860 census search there are several
Amelia Zeller's in Berks County but only one is close to the correct age. This is 3
year old Amelia daughter of Jacob and Caroline Zeller [both born in PA] of Marion Township
/ Stouchsburgh Post office. Their other listed children on June 13, 1860 are Emma, Maria
and John. Does anyone know if this if the correct family group? There is no Amelia
living in Lebanon or Lancaster County that year. Is Jacob Zeller related to the other
Amelias ages 21 and 39 who live in Heidelburg Township but still served by the same
Stouchsburgh Post Office. [ The same enumerator is shown for both townships so I assume
they are adjacent and near each other.]
I will appriciate any information about this Zeller family to prove or disprove the link.
And if correct, then does anyone have information about this Jacob Zeller family and
ancestry?
Thank you.
