Who are these Zoll people anyway?
No seriously, Zoll is a pretty unusual name, that's part of the reason we like it. Strangely,diferent members of our family pronounce it differently. Isn't that odd? Our dad died a couple years ago so now we have no definitive authority on the proper pronounciation. Of course, my sister think's she's right just because she has a degree in Linguistics?
There seem to be two major branches of the Zoll family in the US. There are the Zolls that settled in Massachusetts around 1906 and the Zoll's that settled in Ohio around 1833.
There are a few outstanding Zoll family members.
- Paul Zoll - Inventers of one of the first pacemakers and defibrillation equiptment
- Samual Zoll - Chief Justice of the Massachusetts District Courts
- Estelle Zoll - Published Chemist
- Daniel Zoll - Surgon
We're always looking to connect up with other Zolls and find out more about the family though. If you're a Zoll please check out our family tree

What an odd last name, Where does it come from?
Bavaria, one of the oldest and most expansive of the German states, is the esteemed birthplace of the prominent Zoll family. After the 12th century, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and names that were derived from occupations were particularly common in this region. The family name Zoll is an occupational surname for toll-taker or tax gatherer. The Zoll family became landed aristocrats and they resided in an elegant feudal manor on a vast estate in Bavaria.
In the medieval period, very few people were literate and scribes often recorded names as they sounded rather than according to uniform spelling rules. As a result of the multitude of local dialects in Germany, it was entirely possible that a name would even change between father and son. Additionally, the German language was divided into the linguistically distinct dialects of High and Low German. High German has become the standard modem German language, whereas Low German is linguistically closer to Dutch. Many German surnames may be recognized as belonging to a particular region by their suffixes. It was also common in Germany to add phrases to a name, in order to express something about a person's place of origin, religious background, or character. Thus, German surnames are distinguished by scores of regional spelling variations. Some of the spellings found were Zoller, Zolner, Zollner, Zoller, Zoll, Zoellner, Zoeller and Zollner.
The development of surnames in Germany occurred much later than in Italy, Britain, or France. During the Middle Ages, the practice of adopting hereditary surnames began in southern areas and gradually spread northward. The first hereditary surnames in German-speaking regions were found in the second half of the 12th century when the nobility began to call themselves after their ancestral seats. Among the citizens, surnames were not adopted until the 14th century and did not become stabilized, universal, or fixed in form from one generation to another until the 18th century, when Emperor Joseph 11 decreed that all people throughout the Empire were to assume surnames. The first records of the surname Zoll were found in the town Eger on the border between Bavaria and Bohemia. Although the name Zoll originated in Bavaria, it branched into many houses and became located in Amberg in Bavaria, Austria and Switzerland during the Middle Ages. The earliest records of the name date back to the 14th century, when Hartman der Zoller resided in Ernmerdingen and Johann Vryenstat der czoellner lived in Liegnitz, Silesia. In the late Middle Ages, the status and financial holdings of the Zoll family was increased by marrying with distinguished families such as the Klick and Taufkirchen-Engelburg families. They were later raised to the ranks of the nobility as barons in 1671, and a Saxon branch of the family was ennobled when Gottlieb Zoellner, an officer, was honored in 1822.
The great European flow of migration to North America, which began in the middle of the 17th century and continued into the 20th century, was particularly attractive to those from Bavaria who wished to escape either poverty or religious persecution. For many Bavarian farmers, the chance to own one's own land proved to be a major incentive. The process of the widespread colonization of the United States began in 1650, when many immigrants from Germany settled in pockets in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. In Canada, German settlement centered around Ontario and the Prairie provinces.

I have been a consultant for all of my career. While I have been in various roles I have always looked for ways to enhance anything, processes, features, cost, MTBF, design and other things. I have always been a tecnogeek. When I was growing up I was always playing. I build my first robot when I was 14 and my first Computer at 15. Sometimes my projects worked out and sometimes they didn't. My mother would frequently ask me "Craig, why did all the lights in the house go out?", "Craig why is xxx taken apart". Well I always got the light back on and the xxx put back together, (with only a few screws left over).
I have found the the story of the shoe makers children is apt in concern of this web site. When I started working developing this web site I had all sorts of grandiose plans. They included CSS, CGI, asp, Java, layers, javascript, Weather stations, home automation, and IPCam's. Unfortunately the demands of having a girlfriend, being a home owner, having to work, making a living infringed on my doing more. This is what you get when you have to have a life besides computers. So here it is just very plain. Just the basics.

My working practice is rooted in the local environment. Tiny sagas present themselves throughout my work and hint at the very transitory nature of human attention. Care is bestowed or withheld in an instant even though its evidence can be seen smeared across countless timescales. The space between places fascinates me due to our inherent lack of expectation in it. Intentional destinations, conversely become loaded with anticipation and opportunities for disappointment. A discarded photo album, a half sucked sweet and a wastegrounded front garden create taxonomies of unplanned human activity. We live in amongst these narratives, they play out around our feet and over our heads every day. By highlighting what happens around us I hope to reawaken our appreciation of what community can be. |
