Talk:Ziegler

Hey: My family tree also explains that the name Ziegler also means "Roof Maker" in archiac (?) German, besides the other meaning of "Brick Layer". Can anyone verify? BTW, it may be worth connecting all the variations of the surname "Ziegler" together into one disam. page, such as "Zeigler", "Zigler", "Zigglur", "Zigler" et cetera.

 * Hello Zidel333, the word "Ziegler" in German means "brick-maker" or "(roof)tile-maker". Not "brick-layer", as far as I know (but hey, I'm Dutch) for that would be a "Maurer". The English equivalent of "Ziegler" then would be "Tiler" or "Tyler". W.D. Sparling (talk) 13:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Ziegler Painter


The above painting is of Hessian fighters in the US War of Independence, by a C. Ziegler from the American Revolutionary War article. Can this be added?
