Iron Cross?

[dramasam]

I have been researching my family history and so far only have a little information about my mom's great-grandfather. My grandmothers notes said that he fought in the prussian-german war. It said that he had the Iron cross pinned on him posthumously.by Wilhelm. I know only his last name. Not sure how I can find out more. His last name is Tuefel or Teufel. Please tell me where I can find more information. I am trying to make a genealogy for my mom for Christmas about her family. Thanks for any help!

You need to hit the Imperial forum a bit lower.

... His last name is Tuefel or Teufel...

"Teufel" is better.
