Lorraine h'om oppression"
According to the letter, the
Pershings lived in the village of
Kehe in Alsace-Lorraine In 1T74
and fought under Emperor
Charles against the Magyars.
Soon after that. When a law was
passed that all able-bodied men
between the ages of sixteen and
fifty must join the landwehr to
protect their country from raw
ages by the Austrians, Frederick
Pershing, ST., sent his son to
