There's been more activity on the Ziegler group list this week than
there was all summer! Thanks, Pam and Jack, for waking us up.
Based on the posts I've seen to this list over the past year, it
would seem that 9 of every 10 Ziegler researchers can trace their
lines through the state of Pennsylvania. However, I know of no PA
Zieglers in my own line. I can trace my line back to Georg Jakob
Ziegler, who was born in Wuerttemberg, Germany on October 3, 1848. He
and his wife Ana Maria Weinmann Ziegler came to Faribault County, MN,
in 1881, and moved on to Yamhill County, OR in 1886. They had 13
children, the names and spouses of whom I can share with anyone who
might be interested.
If you have any interest in or connections to this
Germany/Minnesota/Oregon branch of Zieglers, I'd be interested to
hear from you. Thanks.
