Hello, Henry Zigan was my grandfather. My mother's maiden name was Ruth Zigan. Her oldest sister and, of course my aunt was Gertrude. Henry Zigan died in 1951 Newark, Ohio. He was born in Buperer, Germany. Mom said he had a heavy accent and did not speak English well. I never met him as he died before I was born. Mom told me he came to New York when he was only 16, with a load of draft horses. He raised and trained horses in Newark. feel free to contact me by email. ...more
