Alice, I have been researching Fiser/Fizer family for several years, and have found no hard evidence that connects Peter Methias Feiser of Borod, Germany to the Feiser family that came to America in the early 1740's. I have found in the book, "Westerwald to America", 1989, by Annettte Burgert, that Johannes Petrus Feiser and his wife Catharine Margaretha, no maiden name listed, were the parents of several children, all born in Borod, with their births and baptisms listed in a church in Hochstenbach, Germany. I would strongly recommend this book, as it is well documented. A book written on Fiser family in 1960's listed Peter Methias Feiser as the ancestor of the Feiser/Fiser/Fizer family, but this was more speculation than hard proof.
