I am seeking information on branches of the Ziegler family that are now in Norway and may
have ancestry in Denmark and/or Germany.
R(h)einhold(t) (von) Ziegler was the son of Henrich/Heinrich (von) Ziegler who may have
come from Hannover, Germany - and may have been connected with Denmark.
Reinhold was the manager of the ironworks at Eidsvold, Norway and (I believe) was also in
charge of the "iron tax" for Norway. This would have been during the time that
Norway was under Danish control. Reinhold bought Lesjaverket (the iron works in Lesja,
Norway -- in Gudbrandsdal) in 1709.
Reinhold's son, Theodor, married into my Norwegian family. The rest of Reinhold's
children, to my knowledge, also married into Norwegian families or German families in
Norway.
If anyone has information on this branch of the Ziegler family and would be willing to
share information, please contact me directly at:

since I am not able to read Ziegler-L on a regular basis.
Tusen takk! (a thousand thanks in Norwegian)
