Andrew was born Andreas Feiertag in Likogwa, Warsaw, Poland, to Christian Feiertag and Anna Meleski. He immigrated to the USA on 8 May 1909 and was naturalized in 1919. He said that he came to the US to avoid serving in the Russian Army.

When Andrew married Emilie Geske (pronounced 'Yes-ka') on 7 Jan 1911 in New York, Bronx, New York, he changed his name to Andrew Feirtag. Two children were born while living in Mamaroneck, Westchester, New York. (Leona and Emma)

By 1915, Andrew and Emilie had moved to Stanfold, Barron, Wisconsin. They had 10 more children in Wisconsin. (William, Lydia, Olga, Gustav, Adolph, Richard, Henry, Raymond, Paul, and Donald) Although Andrew had changed the spelling of his name, his children were given "Feiertag" as their surnames (making genealogy a bit more challenging - thanks great grandpa!) Of course, the changing of the last name did not stop with Andrew, William changed it to 'Feirtag' and then 'Freitag' before his last child was born, and William's son, Charles, changed it to the American spelling of "Holliday." (yes, he put a second 'L' in it.) Gustav changed it to Feirtag.

The family moved to another farm. There is a 60 acre lake on their property that the DNR named 'Firetag' Lake (that's how you pronounce Feiertag). They raised dairy cattle and Andrew had a saw mill on the lake. The property is still in the family, his son Paul owns it. The only original structures that are still there are the milk house and the outhouse.

Andrew has a least three siblings - one brother came to the US and then went back to Germany. He died three days after an accident at the factory that he was working at. Another brother was working with him and sat with him after the accident. He was not taken to the hospital and had to lay on a concrete floor at the factory. The family did not know the names of these two brothers.

His brother, Ferdinand, came to the US to visit Andrew and then returned to Poland. It is not known at this time if he remained there or if he returned to the US.

His sister Alwine (pronounced 'Alvina') Feiertag, immigrated in 1910 and married Adolf Milefsky and settled in Montville, New London, Connecticut. (Her first name eventually changed to Alwina and then Alvina. Although, it does show up in official documents under all three.)
