Welcome to my ZISCHKE family page. I am descended from Martin Jacob Zischke (1808-?) and Philippine Florentine Bock/Pioch (1815-1878) of Germany (Pomerania) who came to America and settled in Sandusky Co, OH; their children ended up in Clinton Co, MI where my branch married into the Bauerle family. If you have any problems accessing anything, or any additions/corrections, let me know at [email protected]. Happy hunting!
