Abstract
The Pfeffer/Peffer/Feffer family originated in Omelno, Russia. Motel Pfeffer and his wife moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1905, changing the name officially to Pepper. Motel's brothers Isaac and Max followed soon after. Members of the family, including several of the brothers' nieces and nephews who emigrated to the United States in the 1920s and '30s, eventually spread to and settled in various places including Denver, Brazil, and Israel in addition to Salt Lake City. Isaac passed away in 1928, Motel in 1955, and Max in 1978.
