We are new subscribers to this list, and would like to post the branch
of the Ziegler family which we are researching.
We are descended from Michael Ziegler (1684 - 1763) a member of the
Mennonite community found in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Our specific interest is Dilman Ziegler (1781 - 1848) who emigrated from
Pennsylvania in 1816, settling in Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada.
A number Canadian Ziegler descendants, organized and held a Ziegler
Reunion in the summer of 1997 with attendance of several hundred direct
descendants.
Now, a small committee is considering compiling a Ziegler Book, with a
target date of completion and publication for the next Dilman Ziegler
Descendants Reunion, in the summer of 2000.
The scope of our proposed Ziegler Book would concentrate on the
Canadian descendants, but would almost certainly include an
introduction with the details of the Ziegler Family in Pennsylvania,
from Michael Zieglers arrival to Dilman Zieglers departure.
We have reviewed information from, The Ziegler Family and Related
Families in Pennsylvania by Gertrude Mohlin Ziegler, published in
Zelienople Pennsylvania in 1978.
We would be interested to receive comments, from other Ziegler
researchers, who may be familiar with Gertrude Zieglers book,
regarding its accuracy and completeness.
We would also like to hear of any other publications / articles / family
histories, etc. which could be used for reference and research.
We would very much like to connect with other researchers of our Ziegler
branch, and are willing to share information and correspondence.
