I search the name STIEGLER. The earliest information I have is a Georg Balthsafar STIEGLER who lived in Ilsfeld, Wurttemberg from 1734-1800. His father was Johann Balthsafar STIEGLER who lived in Kleinerlach, Wurttemberg from ?-?, another small hamlet with no church. The parish church for Kleinerlach was an adjacent village that has records only back to 1850 or so, no help. There was a Johann Balthsafar Stiegler that lived in => Marktbergel, Bavaria <= around 1700. This village is east of Kleinerlach, not too far away. I think there was no church in Marktbergel, only a small hamlet. Can anyone tell me the location of the parish church that someone in Marktbergel, Bavaria would have attended? They would have attended Evangelical Church. Also nearby (slightly further east of Marktbergel) , is the village of Kirchensittenbach. I have found many Stiegler names in that church records but no direct connection. I suspect they are related,however. If you have useful information please send private mail to email ==> roystiegler@compuserve.com. Or post on the list. Roy W Stiegler, Jr
