Hi Bob,
very interesting to read your story.
My grandfather who was called Hermann Ziegenbein
lived (and died almost 30 years ago) in the Harz Mountains,
too - however not in the same village you mentioned.
I will try to ask my father whether he is aware of any
ancestors having emigrated to the US.
Anyway, should you ever get a chance to come to
Northern Germany, let me know and I will show you around.
Best regards,
Juergen
