Rosemary,
I have information that links with your research.
Gertrude PFISTER married Fredrick J. VEIGLE on January 30, 1856 in Cambria County Pennsylvania. Gertrude was born March 16, 1834 in Bittelbronn Germany. She was the daughter of Blasius PFISTER and Maria Anna BEUTER. Gertrude emigrated to America in 1853 with her parents and four older brothers.
The information I have is somewhat limited, but I would be interested in comparing notes. Please contact me.
