LeglerFN:
said by the
Doenhof FSL to
be from
Wuerttemberg.
By reading church
records and taking
advantage of LDS
research (see LDS
film 1184767), Jerry
Amen has proved that
these families came
from
Weiler-an-der-Zaber,
Brackenheim, Neckar, Wuerttemberg,
that the family name
was usually spelled
Lagler in
Weiler, and that
the family had been
in
Schiltach,
Neckar, Wuerttemberg as early as 1625 and in Weiler before 1661. He
has research by
Gerhard Lang
that shows the
Leglers stopped in
Havetoft and Flensburg,
Schleswig Holstein
in the early 1760s
before going on to
Russia.
LeglerFN:
perhaps not found in
an FSL but was in
the 1775
Grimm census
#62.

Meller in 1798 (Mai1798:Gm17). However,
see previous entry.
LeglerFN:
listed by both the
1816
Neudorf census
(#18) and
KS:354 without
origin.
The
GCRA found some
evidence that the
family was in
Koenigsbach,
S. Prussia in
1804, and may have
been fromUC
Niederroedern,
Selz [Amt], Elsass, but
checking FHL#775,392
and 775,394 yielded
no proof.
See their
book for more.

Liebenzell?,
Wuerttemberg [Duchy].
I could not
find members of this

said by the
Norka FSL to be
fromUC

Another
spelling seems to
have been
Lickie.
A

Flanders (Mai&Marquardt#1210a).
