...Jergler

Posted by: Julie Gabler on October 30, 2001

Name: George Jergler
Location: Zagreb

Looking for any existing relatives or family background on my grandfather's side. His name was George Jergler (could have been spelled or pronounced Jaegler with a "Yaygler" sound). He was born Nov. 1900, and came to America (Michigan area) around 1907. He came with his father, Georges, and mother, Katharina, and siblings - Anthony, John, and Julia. All settled in the Michigan area. I believe they were from the Zagreb area.
Any information would be helpful.
