Hi -
Am researching my husband's family. He's the grandson of Harry Ziegler, who came
from Austria (or Austro-Hungary, I guess), to the US in 1886, at the age of 20 or so. He
married Florence Levy and lived in West Virginia until his death. I'd be interested
to know his original name - I can't find any immigration documents, just an
application for a passport in 1900. Family lore says an uncle or brother named Joseph
was the first Ziegler to come to the US, but I know nothing about him or their ancestors.
