    3. I am looking for information about my ZENGEL and LÖFFLER ancestors. The following is what I know: My great-grandfather, Henry (Heinrich) ZENGEL, died March 5, 1903. According to his death certificate, he was 70 years old, and was born in Germany. My great-grandmother, Catherine (Katherine) Barbara Zengel, was born Feb 15, 1859 and died Jan 15, 1936. She was born in "Rollfeldt" Germany, and her father was Peter LÖFFLER. Henry and Catherne were married about 1887, presumably in or near Rollfeld. They came over to the U.S. in 1888 and settled in Baltimore, Maryland. Henry Zengel was married previously, and had a son Frank (Franz), born Jan 3, 1867, and, according to family rumors, a second child, neither of whom came to the U.S. with Henry and Catherine. However, Frank immigrated several years later, arriving on the S. S. Karlsruhe from Bremen, on April 10, 1890. He was listed as a "workman" from Bavaria. Since the Zengel family was Catholic, we believe that Henry Zengel's first wife, name unknown, must have died before 1887. Does anyone know anything about the ZENGEL or LÖFFLER families? Janice M.
