- ↑ According to Zahniser and Zahniser, authors of The Zahnisers A History of the Family in America, the family name in Germany was "Zahneisen". By the time they wrote (in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with publication in 1906), the family name had evolved into Zahniser. During the early and mid-1800s, however, based on public records, the spelling "Zahnizer" was commonly used by at least some members of the family.
