from Jack And Lorraine 684 Lison Ave SE Rio Rancho NM 87124 email zieglerj2@hotmail.com Hi everyone. My printer is in the shop and its got me at a standstill. I am interested in getting a scanner maybe Hewlett Packard for about 285.00. At least thats what they paid for one where I work at Kirtland Air Force Base. I sure would like to know how everyone I am writing to is related to the Jacob family tree and if you could send pictures of all your family members. I have a place in Family tree maker that allows pictures to be inserted. I know I haven't sent allot of requested information out, but soon as I get my scanner I will put it all directly in to the family tree maker for everyone. I was talking to my uncle Dewey who I am trying to get to hook up to the internet. He says the name Yohand Lopold Ziegler was probably Johann Lopold Ziegler. I know there are thousands of Johanns in Germany so its a thought to consider. Of course we need to find a reference. Speaking of references, I was talking to Dewey Mann and he said most of the information in our tree came from Christian Farrell Ziegler born 1906 and died 1995. Christian Farrell Ziegler Was called Cricket and she had mentioned that she remembered sitting on her great grandfathers lap when she was about 4 years old and he would tell her lots of old stories. Her father was William Giboney Ziegler and her grandfather was Jacob August Ziegler who was married to Annabella Gibboney. The letters found in the attic at 908 Boylston St in Chattanoga Tennessee were written during the Civil War. They were written in one color of ink and the turned sideways and written in another color ink on top to save paper. Dr. Hayme and six students deciphered them and sent Dewey and Charolet a copy and a copy to myself (Jack). I have typed about half of them in MS Word out of 103 pages of them. As soon as I get a scanner I'll rescan them all exactly as presented, and resend them out to everyone. If you can send me copies of your trees as attachments please do so, I am sure we all would find interesting information that we need to add to our trees. I am so glad I have found this group and I would like to visit each of you and find out what Ive missed all these years. Yours truely Jack and Lorriane Ziegler ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
