Zechiel Family History

This page attempts to list all decendants and siblings of Louis Christian Zechiel and Louisa Christiana Stahl Zechiel, starting with his father, the "Venerable John Zechiel". I have populated most of the database from the Zechiel Family History, prepared by my father, William James Zechiel, in 1990.

The Louis Christian Zechiel Family at Culver, Indiana in 1907

Below are all names currently found in the database.  To get more information on any decendant, click on that name.  People who have married into the family are found at the bottom of the page.

The data I started working with is 20 years out of date.  If you have more up to date information, please send it to me and I will put it into the database immediately.  For any people to be added or modified (an ancestor who has passed, a new spouse or children), I would like to collect:

1. Full name
2. Birth date and birth place
3. Death date and death place
4. Wedding date and wedding place

Please note that when information is missing, you will see [Unknown].  If you can supply that information it is greatly appreciated.  Also note that any date that shows as January 1 is suspect, and probably indicates that only the year was known.  Again, updated information is appreicated.

If you have an image that you would like to contribute, please e-mail it to me and I will crop and size it, then add it to the database as well.

I have made it so that the details of the database can only be viewed once a user logs in.  Once you are logged in, your relationship with the person being viewed will display at the bottom of the page.

You must be in the database in order to get an account.  If you would like access to this database, send me your FULL name, your birthdate and your mother's maiden name.  If this matches an entry in the database, I will send you back your login/password via e-mail.
