Do not know all the names of Franz and Doris. It seems as if however their children 's name as much as I can tell seem to have been more connected to the Werner surname than the von Pressentin surname. Would there be any special reason for this?
Following is a list of surnames of friends or family of Doris and Franz from a booklet compiled by Franz prior to leaving Germany. Each person named wrote and signed a message. All names are not readable. I will list those that I believe to be correct. I plan to have these messages translated when I am in Milwaukee in October. They look beautiful and I will be happy to share them with anyone who thinks they might be related.

I am shortly going to LDS to search church records from some of these places but it is possible someone out there could recognise a connection and make my search a bit easier.
Sorry this is so long. Thanks for reading.
