PETTINGER = Luxembourg
My great, great grandfather (I believe it was two greats...might be one) came over to the states with his two brothers. Evidently the Pettingers in Luxembourg were rather well off and each brother left with some of the families money to make a new life. My Great Aunt told my Aunt that evidently one of the brothers lost all of his money shortly after coming here and was never heard of again. We have no idea where he went or if there is a line of the family out there.
Anyways...my mom's side is a mixture of German, English and French. My Great Grandma was alive when I was little and I remember her singing German Lullabyes to me. The cute thing is that my Grandma and Grandpa Lierman (my mom's folks) were next door neighbors all their life and then ended up marrying!
