I am researching Pflieger's of Marathon co, Wausau/Rothschild. I have an obituary for an Edward Pflieger, who I believe is the same as mentioned in your Joseph obit. Both have a father listed as Hubert. If you are interested in it I will email to you. At this point I am not certain that your Pflieger family is related to my line. Maybe you know more. My gg-grandmother was Marie Theresa 'Theresa' Pflieger who married Francois Antoine Kieffer. They immigrated from Alsace France ca 1872 to the United States, and eventually settled in Rothschild area. Hortense was her sister. Theresa's parents were Blasmo or Bruce Pflieger and Maria Goeum or Garrick. Theresa was born in 1839 in Alsace, France. Do you see a possible connection? Kathy
