this is a history and genealogy of Fischer family (which is of German origin)

So Margaret Poland Fisher, who was born in 1842, gave birth to Elizabeth Fischer Ziegler in 1904? Another underreported medical miracle.
The Findagrave page you link to (a site that must serially be linked to from ethnicelebs as per the international code of genealogy, chiseled into stone in 1387), even states of this completely different Elizabeth Fisher, “She remained single throughout her life, living on the family homestead in Prairie Township, Hancock County, Illinois, with her brothers Samuel L. and Mark M. “Brick” Fisher, and her sister Mary Frances Fisher.”
No update yet?
I actually checked this profile just to verify is there was any genealogical link between Ruth Gordon and Maddy’s Zeigler/Ziegler families
Kurt’s middle name is James. Melissa’s middle name is Ann.
I am not sure if this was her paternal grandfather: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/postgazette/obituary.aspx?pid=167252997
That is her grandfather. She actually left a message on that page: “We love you Pap Pap!! Love, Maddie and Mackenzie”. Marilyn wasn’t her grandmother, though.
