That makes sense for I have run into a Joseph in the census records. Do you have any dates on your grandfather or any other info. that you can provide. I just recently received some info. from my great aunt who states that Gustav Pfiffner married Augusta Thamann on Feb. 9 1885. Together they had 13 children. Clara, Edward, Ray, Bill, Alfred, Joe, Cyril, Roman, Leo, Delphine, Regina, Marie, and Frances. This Joe may be your grandfather.
Any info. you can provide will be helpful.
E-mail me personally if you would like. Use the posted e-mail or
atreich@athenet.netThanks
