Thanks for the reply. For what its worth, there was one Pfister family in Sheboygan with Dane Co roots. I found a Peter Pfister who died in Sheboygan in 1922 who ran the old Washington Hotel in downtown Sheb. for a few years. He was born at Sun Praiire in 1866. His father was Egidius and Peter married a Caroline Kleiner in Milwaukee in 1890 where he worked as a lithographer. He also worked in Peoria for awhile before returning to Milw (operating a saloon at 3rd and State) and then coming to Sheboygan about 1920. I believe they had three children, an unidentified girl who married a Joseph Roml, another dau named Catherine Frances and a son Egidius who died in Milw very young. Don't know whether any of this helps.
Also there is a Pfister who has posted some additional info at the Pfister website who claims connection to other Pfister's from Sun Prairie and says he is connected to these, although he has another father for this Peter.
Take care and good luck. If you have any breakthroughs let me know as I find these Pfister's fascinating both in the US and in central Europe.
