Wow, Robert, that's great that you found this information! I'm not sure if
Elizabeth and Pauline (twins) are children of Joseph and Elisabeth, but all the others
are. I wonder if the twins are actually grandchildren of Joseph and Elisabeth. I can run
these two people through the FamilySearch/LDS website and see if any matches pop up.
I found that if I go to
www.familysearch.org and type in Joseph and Elisabeth's names
in the "parents" fields, I can find LDS birth and marriage records for most of
their children (Ziegler/Zickler). Only the type-written data, not the images of the
records, so having these helps, also!
Elisabeth Biecher's father is Jean Biecher. Her mother is Marie Anne Jooss.
I have the birth date of most of Joseph and Elisabeth's children except two: Anna
(circa 1850) and Louise (circa 1854). Louis Joseph Ziegler is my great-great-grandfather;
he came to America around 1872, along with his brother George and later his brother John.
A sister emigrated to Paris and a brother emigrated to Algeria in 1871/72 after the
Franco-Prussian war.
I have not found any way on the
http://www.archives.cg68.fr/ site
to search for birth/marriage/death records by last name. Is there one? Or do you just have
to scroll through all the pages tto try to find the right person?
Thanks for all your help!
Karyn
