 Includes NotesNotes for Hans Schmeltzer:
Just exactly how do we spell it?
A Smelcer is a Smeltzer is a Schmeltzer is a Smelser is a
Smeltser............you get the idea. No matter how we spell it, we are one
family.

Where are we from?
The Schmeltzer name is German. In all probability, the name was given to people
who worked in smelters. Upon coming to America the name was "Americanized" and
Schmeltzer became known as all the different spellings we see today. In the
census, we find our ancestors as being from Germany, Prussia, Bavaria and
Palatine. I am sure there are others. Below, you will see the early immigrants
who came to America. We have recently been told some of our families came from
Austria, into Ireland and then on to the Americas, including Canada.
If you know of other early immigrants, please let us know.
