Hi,
The earliest Ziegler I have found is Johann Christian ZIEGLER, no birth nor
death known now, was married in 1779 to Ursula ZIEGLERIN. Marriage took
place in German Lutheran Church in Weil Am Rhein, Loerrach, Baden, Germany.
They had three children that are known. My next in line is their son,
Fridolin/Friedlin, b. 1795 Weil Am Rhein, d. 1876, Ash Twp, Monroe Co, MI.
Anna Marie was born in 1803, same place. They married in Weil Am Rhein in
1828.
They had four children, three of whom came to the US with them. I do not
know the date they came, am still looking for that.
Their son, Johann Christian ZIEGLER, b. 1828, Weil Am Rhein, d. 1902,
Waltz, Wayne Co., MI He married Magdalena Griesel/Greusel, etc in 1852 in
Detroit, Wayne Co., MI She was born in 1834, in Germany possibly Bavaria,
d. 1904 in Waltz. They had 14 children.
I gave you a brief outline but if anything rings a bell let me know and I
can fill in some of the dates for you. I found some of this material in
Salt Lake in the spring.
Let me know if this ties in.
