Thank you for the input. I'll see what I can find. Joyce -----Original Message----- From: A. Gayle Hudgens, PhD Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 8:18 PM To: lewis@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LEWIS] Daniel Peelstraw Lewis Am writing you off-list for privacy reasons. I believe PEELSTRA (without the final letter, 'w') was/is a Dutch surname. Perhaps a grandparent was a Peelstra? He might have been named after a relative from Amsterdam, etc. Over the years, the spelling changed, like so many surnames do.
