Thier surname was Pelzer, the grandfather was taken ill and died but the son made it.The grapevine here says he was well respected over there and a place called Pelzer was named after him. Could you possibly put some light on this story.Any detail's at all about the pelzer name could be very helpfull in my research.Hoping to get a reply for you.All the best from Mike Hill, Swansea South Wales, U.K.
