greetings. I am second generation american. My father, Werner E. Katzenberger came accross the Atlantic in the 40-50's. I remember him saying he was 19 years old when he saw the NY lady of liberty statue, he came of the boat with 19ยข and a toolbox. He then went to work, as a carpenter for his uncle who paid his boat ticket. Two weeks later he recieved a letter from the US Gov't, drafting him into the Korean war. HE TOLD ME THAT KATZENBERGER MEANS: KATZ-"CAT" EN-"ON" BERGER-"MOUNTAIN or HILL" SO IT MEANS "CAT ON MOUNTIAN". If you know Werner or would like to contact him here in North Carolina, e-mail him at [email protected]. Hope this helps. Good Day.
