hi my name is jamie, I have a ancestor chart from back in 92 it shows that there was a jacob lararz born july 1836. my grandfather was johann jacob lezer born sept 11 1896 on a ship from rotterdam holland to the us. Im grabbing at straws here but I think that grandpa may have shortend our name to lezer. if anyone has any info or can help me seach a different route please let me know. grandpas mother was elizabeth woodland and his father was john lezer, my dad never met them. thanks so much jamie
