Publisher's Synopsis
Although only 20 generations of ancestors and their families can be represented here in this book, the online ancestry tree stretches on for more than 100 generations, going back to Roman and Biblical times. The family can be found in Southern Illinois, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as many countries throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and Mesopotamia. As with many families, it eventually hooks into the royal houses of England and Scotland and the Merovingian Dynasty. Peppered with Knights Templars, Crusaders, Lords and Ladies, it also includes hard working artisan and farm families with large families, spreading throughout the countryside. While few pictures remain it is easy to imagine the Hoover pioneers living in log cabins, wood frame farmhouses, castles of Great Britain and fired brick homes in Mesopotamia. Enjoy the journey as you explore the family and check out the other 80 generations at Ancestry.com under the Ziegler Family Tree.
