My GG Grandfathers family Peiffer or Pfeiffer 1873

by Julie Donnell

I have been searching for information about my GG Grandrather’s family and come up empty. My Great Grandfather was George Peiffer, and he arrived in the US in Aug 1873 at age 22. A US census states that he was born in Alsace Lorraine. His death certificate lists father-August and no mother. On paperwork upon arriving the last name here is spelled Peiffer, Pfieffer and Peiffer. I have tried all these spellings in Ancestry and think I am close and find I am nowhere. Could you help with something like this? Even a tip, perhaps? Thank you.
