Rinny: I checked www.familysearch.org records pilot site for the brothers.  They don't appear there as James or Lawrence.  However, I didn't try an alternate spelling variant.  But there are several other Perz families listed from Detroit, MI.  Maybe one of them will yield the info you seek. If you aren't familiar with family search, let the list know and I'll copy the info into a message for you.

They were listed in my gr-grandfathers obit,in 1934, as his brothers from Detroit,I've checked the census for Mich.(1930)with no luck. I'm hopeing someone with knowledge of the family will see this and respond. The brothers were from German occupied Poland, their brother John was born bet. 1850 and 1854. He immigrated in 1884 to Phil.,Pa. and moved to Wi.around 1890. Any Perz's from Mich who view this please contact me. Thanks very much,Rinny ------------------------------

Rinny: http://evendon.com also has the 1928 Detroit city directory for free, the closest search hits are for name Perzvk, but you might browse the prior page images to see if any names ring a bell. I don't have a good enough browser to check more myself. You could also see if they got written as Perez.
