All information on

Spangler, author of "The Spengler Families."
Variations in the Spengler coat of arms shows
how this one family spread over western Europe. Johan, a Palatine army
officer, s. of Hans, 15 entered the Netherlands army, and
founded the Holland Van Spengler branch; Hans Urban founded the
Nuremburg line 14 generations ago; Jacob, number 8, started the Swiss
group; and Hans Rudolph was sire of the Weiler "kropf" whose coat of
arms was a combination of elements illustrated above. Early Spenglers
were Catholics, later ones followers of Luther, and the Weiler group,
Evangelicals.
