Some additional information on the Joseph Ziegler I am researching:
My mother has a copy of Joseph's death certificate, listing his father's name as
Joseph Ziegler. Additionally, there is a census (I will have to go back and relocate
which census this is) where one of Joseph's daughters is listed, and she indicates
that her father was born in Alsace Lorraine, France. Joseph (the elder), Margaret, Anna
and Joseph (the younger)arrived in New York in 1840 on the USS Vernon out of Le Havre,
France. They are listed as residents of France. There is no documentation that I can find
pertaining to this family between the passenger list on the Vernon in 1840 and a census
listing Joseph (the younger) and his family living in Cincinnati, OH in 1880.
