Is there a ZIEGLER/ZEIGLER passenger list available from an individual or group? We have traced ours back to FRITZ ZEIGLER and reached an impasse. He, his family and other close relatives came over to SC between 1730's and 1760's in a number of ships through different ports. They all came from a little village, SEISTADT, SHONSTETTEN, or STEINHEIM in the district of HEIDENHEIM in the GERMAN state of WURTTEMBERG. They were probably farmers but possibly iron miners or smelters. To me, they seemed to have a dedication to education which is a requirement of people that wish to govern themselves. About a year ago the president of the HEMPHILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY and I went to Philadelphia searching for HEMPHILL passenger list. In so doing I notice a number of ZIEGLERS from WURTTEMBERG with the same series of given names as ours. There must be connections. I have been enlightened by a couple of books on the history of this area of Germany. This is where I got the idea that they were a people dedicated to self education and improved communication. Some speaking two or three languages. The history of the LUTHERAN CHURCH in SC states it was surprising how few of the GERMAN LUTHERAN immigrants were illiterate. I am interested in the ZIEGLER/ZEIGLER passenger list and any history of the WURTTEMBER area in 1680/1760. I would like to exchange information on this. If you have anything on these and will share, please let me hear from you. Bob H.
