Hi Brian, Nothing to do with surname WEISS. But noticed your surname BUSH my mother's maiden name was BUSH she was born in the Bendigo area 1934 her father was GEORGE ARTHUR BUSH, his father GEORGE ARTHUR BUSH also, his father was WILLIAM BUSH, and his father was also WILLIAM BUSH, William and William came to Australia from Liverpool, Lancashire England 1854 on board the MONTEAGLE along with George and Christopher. If you think you may have a connection to my line it would be nice to hear from you.
