The Zieglers get a little interesting. My mother-in-law was the daughter of Julia Casey
Ising. Julia Casey's parents were Mary Magdelen Ziegler and James H. Casey. James
Casey died young, leaving Mary Magdelen with two young daughters, Julia and Mary Rose. We
attended St. Brigid Church at the corner of Baxter and Hepburn. My mother-in-law pointed
out the two almost identical houses across Baxter Ave. and said that was where her
mother's Ziegler aunts lived. In addition to Mary Magdelen, there as Barbara Ziegler,
who never married but lived at 1005 Baxter Ave. with Henry and Katherine Klapheke, and
Anna Catherine Ziegler who married George Klapheke.
When Barbara Ziegler died, her death certificate states that her parents were John Ziegler
and Magdelen Schwab.
Henry Klapheke had a daughter named Anna Catherine Klapheke who married Leo W. Goss. In
the 1900 census Julia Casey is listed twice - once with her mother and sister, and a
second time in the household of Leo W. Goss as "cousin."
What is problematic for me is that several Klapheke trees show Henry Klapheke married to
Katherine Meisner. However all signs point to him being married to Katherine Ziegler.
Unless he was married twice to women named Katherine, or Katherine Ziegler was married
before she married Henry Klapheke.
With respect to Ida Strothman, if her birthday is 2 November 1880, she is the daughter of
George Klapheke and Anna Catherine Ziegler.
I have a renewed interest in sorting out this side of the family; my husband had both of
his Y-DNA and mtDNA tested recently, and the mtDNA follows his mother's family through
the female line - Mary Catherine Ising>Julia Casey>Mary Magdelen Ziegler>Magdelen
Schwab.
