Mary,
Sorry for the confusion. I will check into that at home. I did find some Effertz family history on the internet somewhere going back to the 1700's in Germany. There is an Effertz family reunion that happens in MN down in Carver County. My aunt has gone a couple of times already. I think it's every year. If I talk to my aunt and get a name I can let you know what I find out if you'd be interested. And we are related to them so I am sure you are probably related to them as well back a couple of generations.
I'll have to go back to my records and see what I have on William's family. Do you have a Marie Gertrude Effertz as being William's mother?
Talk to you later.
