The following information and tables are summarized from data included in Connie Zehnder Prok’s book, “The Zehnders of Frankenmuth, A Family History – 1981” as well as Ken Fraiberg’s incomplete book “The Zehnders of Cleveland: A History of the children of George and Anna Zehnder.”
Connie’s book includes 690 souls in the family lineage and 271 spouses stemming from Urban Simon Zehnder, his son Andreas Leonhard Zehnder (d1717), and his son Christoph Zehnder of Baumhof, Germany (b1692). The book references 186 different places and 231 unique surnames.
Ken’s book focuses on the family stemming from George Christian Zehnder who moved from Frankenmuth, MI to Cleveland, OH and raised his family there. His collection added 325 souls in the family lineage and 148 spouses, referencing 143 more places and 142 additional surnames.
