    3. Hello All, New to the list. Husband's last name is Burkizer, derived from Berghauser, changed (?) during WWI. Most family is in Penn. We have: Peter Berghauser, born Feb. 1844 came from Germany in 1869 settled in Scranton Penn. married Gertrude (maiden unknown), born 1848, (she came to US in 1866) here in Penn in 1878 Gertrude had a son from a previous marriage named Frank, who took the Berghauser name. Together Peter and Gertrude had 5 Berghauser children Conrad, 1879 John 1881 William, 1883 Katie, 1885 Selma, 1888 *also lists a Consuela (sp?) but don't know if she is a daughter or D-I-L We know Conrad used the Burkizer spelling and had: Willard Thomas Gaylord Henrietta (Died in Flu epidemic) Gertrude (Died in Flu epidemic) Willard split from the family (feud?) and moved to Chicago, never to contact the family again. Hope I'm not the only one on this list, lol Thanks Missy
