Hello Harry,

Happy New year and welcome to the forum.

Based on your description (pix would help a lot), it seems you have one of the many W.W, I Lugers that were hawked in the U.S.of A. post 1918. The stamp "Germany" almost completely negates the family history.
Don't feel bad about the family history thing tho. We all wish our family were giants among the pygmies of this world. Some of them were.
Unfortunately, your gun puts the lie to the story, but that in no way lessens the acomplishments of your ancestor. Hold that piece proudly; someone thought a lot of it.
