Surnames: Briegel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oMB.2ACI/600 Message Board Post: I am seeking information about the Michael Briegel family listed from Franklin Township, Grundy County in the 1870 and 1880 census. They arrived in New York from Bavaria March 12, 1869 on the same ship as the wife and children of Jacob Briegel, also listed in the 1880 census. I need to confirm the family relationship between Michael Briegel and the other Briegel families listed in the 1880 census. I am the granddaughter of Theodore, son of Michael and Elizabeth.
