Notes:

Throughout this Family Tree, along with its notes, etc. Edouard Louis Zengerle's name is spelled any number of different ways, from the way it is listed here on his family page to Eduard, Edward, and even an Edouward. It appears to have been recorded according to sound and with a flavoring of Alsatian, French or German, depending on where it was being written. His Brother-in-law Joseph Weiss, referred to the German dialect the Alsatian Zengerle's spoke, as "Pflatt-Deutsch", or Low-German, whereas his family coming from Bavaria, Germany spoke "High-German". One could assume that his name translates to Edward in English. Gram pa always signed his name as "Ed" Zengerle. Consequently, Edward Jr. was referred to as "Eddie" Zengerle.

(from the family book of Ben and Effie Zengerle, appears the following:)
Amputated Ed Zengerle, Sr. leg, March 5, 1951, by Dr. Burns at the age of 91 years.
