Stotzer Mysteries!

US STOTZER MYSTERIES

Here is a list of Stotzers going back to the 1500s that do not appear to be connected to the Swiss/"Buren an der Aare" extended Stotzer family. I suspect some of them emigrated from Germany before 1850. I have discovered that the surname STOTZER or STÖTZER is commonly misspelled STOETZER or STOZER in some official records. See my Swiss Stotzer Mystery Page for a list of Stotzers that I haven't been able to connect to my existing data. Help finding any of their stories and origins appreciated.
