Hello List,
I've been searching for other people related to my GGG Grandfather,
Andreas ZIEGLER, and came across an old post from 1999 which I have
attached at the foot of this message.
I have tried to email the original sender directly, but perhaps
unsurprisingly after nearly a decade, the email address is no longer
in use.
I'm posting therefore in the hope that Paul is still subscribed to
this list, but with a new email address, or perhaps someone knows how
I might contact him. Even better still anyone else with any leads
about Andreas Ziegler might also get in touch!
Here is the message I tried to send to Paul:
Hello Paul,
I have just been looking through the archives of Rootsweb, and I found
your post from the summer of 1999. I'm hoping you still have the same
email address.
I've just started plotting my family tree, and I have found that we
share an ancestor - Andreas Ziegler. He is my Great x3 Grandfather
(via Mary-Ann Eleanor). So, hello distant cousin!
I just wondered if you ever managed to trace Andreas' or Emma
Stanley's tree any further back?
I have the following notes but as of yet have not got certificates to
confirm any of it:
+---Mary Ann Eleanor Ziegler
+---Andreas Ziegler
| +---Franz Ziegler
| +---Katherine Elizabeth Gobel
+---Emma Stanley
+---George Stanley
+---Mary Ann Rogers
I note you refer to his father as Francis rather than Franz. I suppose
they are close enough for confusion (undoubtedly on my part!) And
curiously, my grandmother's middle name is Frances. I wonder if that
could have been passed down to her...
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Matt Fletcher (Morecambe, Lancashire)

Dear All,
ANDREAS ZIEGLER my great x2 grand-father came to England prior
to 1856 when he married EMMA STANLEY at Bethnal Green. He is noted as being a
sugar baker and 25 years old. His father as FRANCIS ZIEGLER a potter. On the
1881 census he is aged 41 and noted as coming from HESSEN KASSEL. Therefore
he was born circa 1830/1.
Has anyone come across them in their research? How might I
make the link back to Germany? Does anyone have access to the German IGI to
check for possibles? Any help gratefully received. Thanks . Paul.
