Note: from Peter Schellenberg re: change in spelling of last name.You may of noticed that my Name does not have the "er" on the end Dad and Uncle Harry dropped it for reasons that are not completely clear the only explanation we ever got was the Gov. changed it when they went into the military during the war and so they just never bothered to change it back but my birth certificate was registered Schellenberg and I guess that's what it will stay
