I have found several different spellings of this name, Zyriacus, Zyriach, Zerevec, Ziriack, & Ziriac, just to name a few. As of 10/31/2005 I have no idea which is correct.

He was born the Son of Andreas/Andrew & Francisca "Klein" Wipfler in Germany and came to the US at the age of 7. He would marry Catherine Herzog and would have 10 children.

Just to add to the confussion here is another spelling, this is from the Ship Manifest when Zyriac came to the US with his Father and Mother.

Name: Zerierok Wipfler
Arrival Date: 17 Nov 1857
Age: 7
Gender: Male
Port of Departure: Le Havre, France
Ship Name: Guttenberg
Port of Arrival: New Orleans, Louisiana
National Archives' Series Number: M259_45


On 05/10/06 I was told by Petra who lives in Germany and is in the Wipfler family line, that the correct spelling of the name is Cyriac. However as you can tell by the name on the Headstone the family spelled it Zyriac.
