Introduction
We have been researching our family history since the summer of 1999. Most of the information on these pages is about people who are now deceased. Please ask for more details about the rest of our family lines by e-mail.

Primary families making up this lineage are the Adams and Zuendel families.

A brief history:

The Adams line begins with James Adams immigrating with his wife and family to Ontario, Canada from Scotland in 1856. His son becomes a dispatcher at the Woodville, Ontario rail station (GTW Midland Division), marries and raises a family.

At the same time, the Zuendel family immigrates to Huron County, Michigan. There is a period of time when the Zuendel family returns to Germany, but eventually they return to Verona to continue a farming life.

Alexander's son Daniel Webster Adams immigrates to Huron County, Michigan and the two families are joined. Daniel Webster moves his family to Highland Park, back to Verona, and finally back to Highland Park seeking various employment opportunities.

Significant geographical regions:

Woodville, Victoria County, Ontario

Huron County, Michigan is located in the northern tip of the Michigan "Thumb" and is bordered by Tuscola and Sanilac Counties to the south and Lake Huron to the north and east.

In 1881, a terrific fire with flames over 100 feet high swept through most of Huron County. It was because of this fire that the Red Cross, headed by Claire Barton, provided the first Emergency Aid project in the United States.

Highland Park, Michigan is completely surrounded by the city of Detroit MI.
