All information on ancestors 7 to 20, listed above, came from German cousins to Edward W. 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.
