Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/679 Surname: ZIEGLER ------------------------- Christian Ziegler (German immigrant) moved his family to Coopersville in approx 1883-4, wife Mary, son William born in 1784 and Bertha born in 1887 for approx. one year. Previously they lived in Parma NY, to Kearney NE,then to Coopersville. Christian had a trade of grafting trees and lived in other areas rich in fruit trees. Due to early deaths of children and fires destroying records research is slow going. I'm looking for any info they were there---in schools, churches, at orchards. He moved from there to LeRoy MI and became a farmer. He could have worked for a farm there.
